The announcement this week that El Paso will be getting it’s first Whole Foods grocery store is still a big topic. The store, which will be on El Paso’s Westside, won’t open until December of 2016. Here are some little known facts about Whole Foods…

---The first Whole Foods opened in Austin in 1980

---That first store only had 19 employees

-- It's consistently named one of the best companies to work for by both "Forbes" and "Insufferable Hipster Quarterly".

--They have options for people who suffer from gluten allergies, fibromyalgia and other made-up ailments.

-- You can buy sandwiches from their deli, pastries from their bakery, and weed from the guys who unload their delivery trucks.

--They impose a price cap on their executives salaries. So, they’re commies.

-- Everything they sell is free of artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, preservatives and hydrogenated fats. Which is why they call it WHOLE Foods…and not GOOD Foods.

-- If you want a priceless reaction, pick out the most hippy looking employee and ask them to point you to the Duck Dynasty Pick-up accessories.

-- Everything Whole Foods sells is "certified organic," "locally sourced" . . . and a lot of other things that white people claim to care about

-- Up until this week, I thought it was “Hole Foods” and that it referred to donuts, bagels and other foods with holes in them
