The opening date for El Paso's new store has finally been set.

Whole Foods Market, a store specializing in natural and organic foods, is set to open October 19th at 100 Pitt Street, off Mesa near Resler.

The El Paso store will have several features not found at many other Whole Foods' locations, including the Thunderbird Taproom, with 24 beers on tap and wines, and a taqueria operated by Isabella Foods of El Paso as a stand-alone, food-court style restaurant inside the store. Besides selling tacos and burritos, Isabella Foods also will make tortillas to sell in the store. The El Paso location will be the first in the chain to have a Grillworks, a wood-fired grill to charbroil meats used in pizzas, sandwiches and other prepared-food sold at the store.
The store will employ about 160 people and will sell a bunch of products produced in and around the El Paso area, keeping even more peeps working!
