Whole Foods Market on the other hand is higher quality but also higher prices and their direct competitor would be Wegmans. Honestly, not surprise about this at all.

The store in the northeast has also stalled after a full build out and it was completed a little less than a year before the new Aldi up the Blvd will complete. I dont think its the location that's the problem. Sucks that the retail will be empty for so long. Hopefully, a grocery store will take over the lease as Spring Garden will have over 500 units come online in the next 2 years.
Also this project may be completed according to their interior design firm:
