Whole Foods Market to open in Newark, N.J.

New York -- Whole Foods Market has signed a lease for a 29,000-sq-ft. store in Newark, N.J., according to the Newark Star-Ledger.



The store is expected to be an anchor tenant in a 112-year-old landmark building that was once occupied by the Hahne & Co. department store. The building is being converted into a multi-use space that will feature apartments, retail and office space.

The project is a joint partnership between the Newark-based Hanini Group and L&M Development Partners of New York.
