New Whole Foods Planned in South Hills

Whole Foods Market

Whole Foods Market signed a lease for a location in Pittsburgh's South Hills.  This third area location could open in or before fall 2015 at the corner of Washington Road and Fort Couch Road, not far from the South Hills Village Mall.  The store will be part of a development by KGA Partners, on a site formerly occupied by Consol Energy. A two-story office building there is now being demolished.
 
Whole Foods is slated to cover 40,000 square feet and have more than 200 parking spots.  The Siena @ St. Clair development will have an additional 100,000 square feet of retail, including restaurants and stores. Other tenants for the development are currently being lined up.

The store will join a corridor that has a Trader Joe's, a Giant Eagle Market District, and the region's first Fresh Market which is still in the works.  Whole Foods entered the region in 2002 with its first store in Pittsburgh's East Liberty neighborhood and not long ago opened a second location in Wexford.
