Whole Foods Market opens in Danbury with bread breaking ceremony

A new grocery store is opening in Danbury.  Whole Foods Market is opening this morning at the "Shoppes at Marcus Dairy".  Instead of a ribbon cutting, the company and city officials will break bread.  It's the company's 9th store in Connecticut. 

 

Northeast Region Spokesman Michael Sinatra says they designed this store around the history of the site.  Since the land used to be the Dairy Bar, this store will have a burger and shake venue.

 

The company is also giving back to the community.  5-percent of the day's profits is being donated to the Danbury Museum and Historical Society.  The first 350 shoppers are receiving some free food items to mark the opening of the store's 350th location worldwide. 

 

Each quarter through 2014 the store plans to donate some proceeds from a given day to a community partner.
