The Clarendon location of Whole Foods is located on Wilson Boulevard just a few blocks from the Clarendon Metro station. The chain began in 1980 in Austin, Texas, and has grown to a network of more than 250 stores nationwide; it is the go-to grocer for food of high quality. While this location is not as spacious as some Whole Foods stores, it has all of the staples expected from this chain – great quality organic and natural foods, body care items and health supplements. It has a salad bar and prepared-food section, a bar dedicated entirely to endless varieties of olives, and a larger than usual wine and cheese selection. Grab a soup or pre-made meal and enjoy the upstairs or outdoor eating areas.
