About the store, your community gathering space

At 39,000 square feet, this location represents the company’s first entry into Shreveport and seventh Whole Foods Market in Louisiana. Whether you’re hungry for better or simply want to explore new foods and flavors, we offer a place for you to shop where quality and value go hand in hand. Our standards prohibit the use of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sweeteners or hydrogenated fats in any food we sell.

Green features

 We work closely with our design teams to source environmentally responsible construction materials that reduce virgin material use and solid waste volumes.

 Daltile tile used in kitchen, food preparation areas and restrooms contains pre-consumer recycled content.

 Architectural Ceramics tile is Ecolabel Certified reducing its lifecycle environmental impact.

 Reclaimed wood used throughout the store helps reduce the impact on clear-cutting of the natural environment. Most notable is the “Joskes wood” throughout the store on walls and soffits, reclaimed from a San Antonio department store built in 1888 called Joske’s.

 The wood used in this store originally came from the forests around Lake Charles in Calcasieu Parish or Louisiana.

 Electric vehicle charging stations will be available for use by guests and team members.

 The store offers bike racks to support our cyclist community.

 100 percent of all paint, adhesives and sealants used throughout the store are low in volatile organic compounds.

 HVAC units and the lighting panels are used to monitor and track electricity usage. This data is used to identify energy wasting behavior, potential equipment damage and plan for more efficient systems in future stores.

 Lighting energy consumption is reduced through the installation of automatic lighting controls, such as: occupancy sensors, an astronomical time clock, programmed time functions that turn off the lights in the “back of house” areas when the rooms are unoccupied. Additionally, the lighting design allows for sales floor general lighting to respond to natural daylight from skylights and some lights in the sales floor area during daytime hours.

 Energy efficient LED lamps installed throughout the majority of the store reduce the energy consumption of the electric lighting system.
