IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT PK has Loquats. Abort construction of the Whole Foods. I repeat, PK is selling Loquats. You snooze, you lose, WF.

I agree with the argument that having it closer to a larger percentage of potential shoppers is a better plan, we're talking about Whole Foods and the fact that those wishing to shop there would most certainly make the schlep up the hill if it were placed in JSQ. I don't believe they'd lose any profits. The whole point is moot though since they are going to be at Grove St.

Not to mention that a large draw of WF locations in urban areas is their accessibility for those on foot. Old Colony is a good location for people with cars, but too far for the masses that rely on PATH. Not a whole lot of people would like to walk all the way to Old Colony and then back track. By choosing the area right outside of the Grove Street PATH plaza, they are being smart: they will get a lot of foot traffic from commuters coming home after work, but will also capture customers who may be heading out of JC by car. Check out any WF or TJ location that is close to subway and PATH stations around 5 - 6 PM and you will be faced with long lines. As with real estate: location, location, location.

Old Colony is fringe at best. In 10 years I imagine it will be desirable but WF doesn't seem to be the type to precede the market or set the tone. They locate in established locations.

The old colony shopping center would be the best place for it. Don't know why that didn't happen. I also wonder what type of deal was struck. Metropolis is a co op so each owner should get a piece of this.

Well, maybe somebody should look into that. 33:1-12.31. Acquisition of beneficial interest in more than two retail licenses prohibited On and after the effective date of this act no person, as the same is defined in R.S. 33:1-1, shall, except as hereinafter provided, acquire a beneficial interest in more than a total of two alcoholic beverage retail licenses, but nothing herein shall require any such person who has, on August 3, 1962, such an interest in more than two such licenses to surrender, dispose of, or release his interest in any such license or licenses.

Whole Foods opening Jersey City location in 2020 By Whole Foods is coming to Jersey City. The upscale supermarket announced this afternoon that it will open a market near the Grove Street PATH station in 2020. Plans are for a 45,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market on the site of Metropolis Towers, at Columbus Drive and Marin Boulevard. That's more than twice the size of the Whole Foods in Montclair, one of Whole Foods' 15 New Jersey locations. Read more: http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... ity_location_opening.html

nice to know the very few times i need some obscure hipster vegetable or something that only they have, i won't have to go into the city to get it.
95%+ of my grocery shopping will still be done at shoprite, key foods, tender shoots/p&k on newark and the farmers markets, but good for the people who like paying more for the same things.

Well I think that's why it is where it is. So a shitload of people are within a 10 minute walk of it, and another shitload of people can access it by Path train (from JSQ mostly).

Believe it when you see it - four years is a looooong time and a lot of things need to happen before we get to the 9? 12? months where they are actually building the store.
But hey - it fulfills this week's quota of "accomplishment tweets/emails"....

Best place in JC to put it - like the traffic isn't a cluster-f there already on the weekends. Way to go King Steve.

it's the new JSQ complex as the space is there and it will attract droves of Yuppies who need their quinoa and need it now.

Looks like the Metropolis Towers lot. A new park as well, so that is good news.
