Denverite: Whole Foods plans Arvada store on Wadsworth Boulevard

Denverite | Andrew Kenney | January 30, 2025

Whole Foods plans to open a store on Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada, according to city planning documents. 

The city of Arvada has approved a developer’s plan to build a new 40,000-square-foot grocery store at 7815 Wadsworth Blvd., replacing a Hobby Lobby that formerly stood on the site.

Whole Foods, owned by Amazon, is jumping into an area that already has two organic and health-focused grocers. The new supermarket will open just a few hundred feet from a Natural Grocers store, as well as a Sprouts store just a little farther south.

Also in the area are a Target, King Soopers and Safeway.

While it neighbors other grocers, the Arvada Whole Foods will fill a gap for the chain. The nearest Whole Foods stores are more than five miles away in Lakewood, Denver and Westminster.
