AUSTIN (KXAN) — Whole Foods Market started in Austin over 40 years ago and has since expanded as a major grocer across the country.
Many Austinites drive past the original building—now vacant—on their daily commutes on North Lamar Boulevard. Do you know where the original Whole Foods Market was?
The first store opened in 1980 in the 900 block of North Lamar. The building was likely where a now-closed Goodwill store stands today.
