They will as JSQ has the available sq footage and the waterfront does not. Whole Foods needs a showplace local in the hot new hip city Jersey City has become, the yups can ride PATH for the hot buffet and cinnamon scented pad liners. Trader Joe's is for rebranded pussies.

It's just a "hook" to get you to look at the property and get you in the door to the sales office. Remember the developer who put a sign on his fence that said " Future Home of Whole Foods" on the property he was developing?

I call BS. If WF is planning a JC store, they would deny until they're ready to present to the public. They're not going to be upstaged by some guy on facebook.
Besides, the developer building those two towers on the long vacant lot at Journal Square is actually paying WF to occupy the retail at the base of the tower so they can better market their luxury rentals and command higher rents, or so the rumour goes...

Someone spoiled the fun on Facebook:
"Whole Foods in JC - Nope - Just spoke to a friend in Management at WF - Has not heard anything about JC at all - even if slated earliest possible opening date is 2020 -"

None of this is true, it is rumor and speculation until we see the press release from WF corporate.

You only have to pay a lot of money if you are staying more than 4 or 5 hours. A two hour stay is a little over two dollars, and you can get a discount by showing an ID with a JC address at the Customer Service desk in the middle of the mall (next to elevator bank).

The one at Menlo Park is also attached to the Mall.

Morton Williams validates parking. WF might do the same though parking is only expensive for long stays to discourage commuters.

the parking fees are in reality negligible, the rates are
1 Hour $ 2.00 2 Hours $ 2.25 3 Hours $ 3.50 4 Hours $ 5.50 showing your ID with a Jersey City address lowers it by $1.

Quite a regular

But the parking there is really quite pricey. I can't justify paying for parking to buy groceries. :( I was really impressed by claims in the Cheesecake Factory post that the Newport location was the third highest grossing restaurant already--every time I've asked my friends to go there, they've proposed another Cheesecake location because they didn't want to pay $10+ for parking.

now that would be impressive. you've got your parking lots there, multiple entrances and exits already built in to facilitate the checkout process away from where people want to walk in, 5 different forms of nearby public transportation (not that I think anyone is taking the ferry to WF, but still)...
i still wouldn't shop there very often, but if they accomplished that, i'd give both sides credit - simon for having a supermarket in one of their malls, which i've never seen, and WF for being in a mall, which i've also not seen anywhere

Someone on Facebook is reporting that Kohls in the Newport Mall will be replaced by Whole Foods. Claims to have overheard mall leasing employees talking.

That space is not nearly as big as some people seem to think it is... It totals about 14,000 sf. Good luck trying to fit a "big grocery retailer" into a space of that size. The average WF is 50,000 to 70,000 sf. The upcoming BK Wegmans weighs in at 74,000 sf, and that's already one third smaller than their average store. In fact, the average grocery store takes up about 50,000 sf. The only viable store that could fit into that space would be a TJ. Their average store is about 12,000 sf.

I think that the new building with large retail space going up on Jersey Ave between Columbus and Newark could be the spot for one of these big grocery retailers. We'll see. Well, you'll see. I'm leaving town.

Agreed. I only mentioned that location because I have found that many people don't seem to know/realize that a Fairway is located there. That makes sense, since it only opened about two years ago.

That may be OK for a specialty goods place like TJ's, but some of us don't work in Manhattan, nor shop so small that we would want to carry it that far. Same goes for WF, no?

I think you may have mentioned this before. Fairway is nice, but I never felt they had good prices (in fact, I find their prices to be on par with WF in many items) but they do have urban origins and they know how to stock a store with a small footprint with all the necessities. I have always found their produce to be great, as well. I doubt they will expand into JC... Their location on 6th and 25th is a short PATH ride away.

Why is there so little love and yearning for a Fairway, a store with urban origins, and an understanding of city shopping? I loved the one on 133rd. Is it so few people here have shopped at one, or didn't like it? The Paramus one had far more "center aisle" canned and dry goods than the Harlem store which was more focused on perishables.

What Bodipooh said. I think some of the people who think we'd see a Wegman's here have never seen a Wegman's.

A little late to the party with this tidbit. The supermarket Wegmans is opening at the Brooklyn Navy Yard is anything but urban style. For starters, it is HUGE, and not too far off from the typical size they build. Secondly, they placed it in an area that will require you to drive out there, and a fairly large sized parking lot is part of the overall project. Wegmans has looked into potentially building smaller stores to go into urban areas, but it just doesn't fit their style and overall strategy. In short, you will never see a Wegmans in JC. We just don't have the space required for the place they would want to build.
