Staff and food quality both took a nosedive. I detect a whif of bs from the Wulfe folks. This WF was supposed to break ground this spring as of only a few months ago. Now theyre telling random dudes off the street June and officially declaring September. Methinks they have a few more issues to iron out before they even think about beginning construction. Mark it......the old Pavillion will be standing this time next year. The last few years Eatzi’s was around it wasn’t nearly as good. Staff and food quality both took a nosedive.

I am pretty sure the parking across the street goes with the residential tower that is planned for the future. More than likely they won't want shoppers and their carts there anyway. (also, carts locking up in higher end stores isnt typically a huge problem...i hope!) Cant wait for both of the new Whole Foods to open! why would you even try to hike across the street to park and cart (feel free to tack on in the heat, humidity and rain) if you have a 6 story parking garage designated for the WFs?

I've been at the Weslayan Randalls and parked in the row in front of Walgreens, and had my cart lock up long before it could get to my car. Going back and forth between my cart and my car may have been nice exercise, but I don't much like leaving a cart full of groceries unattended in a busy parking lot, and I also didn't like leaving the empty and locked-up cart abandoned in the middle of the lot (It wouldn't unlock when I tried to push it back, and I'm not capable of *carrying* a cart). Do you think Whole Foods would want/like/allow people to take their carts across the street? (Sure, fine, if you're just buying a prepared sandwich or something. But if you're buying 2 weeks of groceries for a family, or supplies for a dinner party, or something else that's green-appropriate for the "you shouldn't buy in bulk anyway" people, you have more than one hand can carry...)

The thought of all that traffic... I used to work in those Stewart Title black office bldgs. Some days it took forever to get off Post Oak. Around the Christmas holidays it could take 40 minutes to get down Post Oak, take a left on Westheimer and a zig over to 610. Can't imagine why they need (another) grocery store in that location.

At most of the largest grocery stores,(power centers,and malls too)you can walk the equivalent of two city blocks from the outer edges of the parking lots, but no one seems to notice that they are walking that far. We've parked in garages at Whole Foods stores in NY and California; it's great. The stores themselves are often two story with elevators and escalators for the shopping carts. It's awesome. Houstonians should welcome it; during the rainy season (if we ever have another one) and the three months of hellish heat, you get to park in covered spaces. What is there to complain about? Some people hate anything different I guess, even if they've never tried it.
