Kimberton Whole Foods opened its eighth location in Eagleview Town Center at the end of April, bringing the local grocery chain to one of Chester County’s fastest-growing neighborhoods, writes Donna Rovins for The Daily Local News.
The 10,500-square-foot store at 701 Rice Blvd. is the largest of Kimberton’s three Chester County locations. Walkers from the surrounding neighborhood, returning shoppers from the Downingtown and Kimberton stores, and first-time customers have been turning up since opening day.
“The walkable nature of Eagleview, combined with nearby events and businesses, has made the store feel like part of a true destination rather than just a stop for groceries,” said Becca Settle, director of marketing for Kimberton Whole Foods.
The store carries the full Kimberton lineup, including organic produce, grass-fed meats and dairy, specialty cheeses, baked goods, natural grocery staples, supplements, and body care products. Grab-and-go meals, online ordering, and curbside pickup are available. The café serves made-to-order smoothies and juices, specialty coffee drinks, and breakfast sandwiches, with both indoor and outdoor seating.
Local sourcing remains central to the Kimberton model as the company works with more than 200 producers within 100 miles of its central Chester County distribution center.
It has sold more than $7.3 million in locally sourced products across all eight locations so far this year.
