I love shopping at Whole Foods Market!  Do you like the store?
I love all of there 473 stores.
Wow!  There are that many of them?  Where did Whole Foods originate?
I am not sure but Amazon.com and Whole Foods Market merged in 2017.
I did hear about that.  Will they be dropping their prices?  Whole Foods is quite expensive!
I am not sure. But I am sure the founders Mackey and Renee Lawson would be proud.
Do they still work for the company in any capacity?
