Update: No Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s YET, but we do have a Sprouts Farmer’s Market opening in 2015!! Click here for more information.
Is a Whole Foods Opening in Cumming GA?
I don’t know if I’m in a super small minority that reads every billboard and tries to notice every new store coming into town or not. Are you like that too or is it just me?
Just like when I get sad to see businesses close (did you hear that Menchie’s is closed!!), I get really happy to see new ones opening up in town. And it seems like Cumming GA & Forsyth County is on an up-swing of openings these days.
Laguna Mexican is getting ready to open up right in downtown Cumming (in the old City Bistro space). 7 Tequilas Mexican is opening up in the old space of Smokejack at Midway Family Festival. Asian Silk is opening up in a space that hasn’t been occupied in so long I forget the name of the last restaurant there (behind Verizon at Market Place Blvd)! OVR Coffee Cafe just recently opened up at Vickery Village and a new restaurant is going inside the old Tavern space there too. Panera Bread is finally in Cumming GA and The Cupbearer is in the same shopping center.
Oh, and I know LOTS of you are excited about Costco coming to town. I truly am curious … why is there so much excitement about Costco?? I guess I’ve never shopped there.
Anyhow. That brings us to the one thing that Forsyth County is in desperate need of (well if they would ask for my opinion at least) … a good grocery store!! What is it going to take to bring Whole Foods or Trader Joes to Cumming GA or Forsyth County?
Since they don’t clue me into their plan, I have no idea when or if that will ever happen. But I do try to remind them from time to time that we need them! And here’s what transpired the last time I reminded Whole Foods …
So what does that mean to you?
Do you think we’ve waited long enough? And a Whole Foods would be a good thing, right? My answer to both of those is YES!! So come on Whole Foods!! SO … do you think a Whole Foods is opening up in Cumming or Forsyth County soon? Or if they don’t jump on something soon, maybe Trader Joes will!
I SO wish we had a Whole Foods in Cumming!!! I’d settle for a Trader Joe’s or Fresh Market even!
I would be SO jealous! I’m hoping one will open in the Woodstock/Canton area. We’re getting a new outlet mall! We need WF or TJ!

I would love to see a Whole Foods in Cumming!!! I shop at Costco on Windward and look forward to seeing one closer. Costco carries a lot of organic foods, love their shrimp trays and much more. 🙂
thanks for the info on all the new stores that I had no clue were coming to town! Id LOVE LOVE a whole foods here in cumming! My daughter can only eat organic foods and that would save so much time!
Keep us in the loop 🙂
I did a survey sometime in the last year asking if I would shop at either a Whole Foods Market or Trader Joe’s if it came to town. I believe they were looking at the Avenue’s area as a possible location. I forget which it was, but I was very positive in my answers. I would be there nearly every day!!
YES! Bring a “whole” paycheck to Cumming! I’ll spend every dime there, and LOOOOOVe TJ’s! would def prefer one or BOTH very, very happily!!! 🙂 Much needed and way past due!
I used to work in Norcross and went to TJ’s and WF’s every single week. I now work in Gainesville and miss my lunch time shopping so much! Maybe the success of Costco will bring more organic/whole food friendly stores our way!!
Can’t wait for Trader Joe’s to open in Cumming. All my shopping is done in Alpharetta or Johns Creek with at least 3-hour roundtrip. We need these stores come to town. I am happy to hear about Costco. Love that store!
I am rooting for Whole Foods to be in the Cumming area! A great place would be where the Kroger was, near Belk and Parsons (I’m drawing a blank on what the name of the shopping area is). I hate to drive to Upper Hembree Road and it won’t be much better once the one off of Old Milton opens. Let’s get one up here!!!!!
We totally need a whole foods! I get so tired of driving to Johns Creek on the weekends to get my groceries. I found a Harry’s off of exit 10 on Upper Hembree Road BUT, it would be awesome to get a whole foods, trader joes or something of that nature in Cumming!
I have been saying this for years! We even drive to a better Kroger in Alpharetta on our way home from work if I don’t have time to go to whole foods. Wish I could open a franchise now!!!
It would be great to have a Whole Foods in Cumming, but I’d really love to see a Fresh Market come to this area!!!
I would love a Whole Foods too! I’m sure it would do very well here!
I love OVR! Would love love love a trader Joe’s or whole foods around here (both would be even better) !!!
I heard Trader Joe’s is coming soon in the Belk plaza!?!?
Maybe this should be retitled as “I wish Whole Foods or Trader Joes was opening in Cumming”. There doesn’t appear to be much basis for the current title.
I would like to see them open here as well, but the current title gives false hope.
We are a chiropractic office that opened up in Cumming GA on June 17, 2013. We are constantly referring patients to stores for organic food or natural supplements. Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and Natural Food Warehouse are our favorites. We do love Costco for the organic carrots for juicing too. We wish these stores were in Cumming too since there is nothing local.
I think we are ready for COSTCO and we are ready for Whole Foods. Bring them in and we’ll go shopping like we never have 🙂
I’am patiently waiting for trader joes or who!e foods to come to Cummimg Ga. Very excited about Costco coming
Yes we definitely need a Whole Foods in Cumming. PLEASE?
Yes please Trader Joes or Whole Foods! Just moved here from California and was spoiled with easy access to organic foods.
Earth Fare is coming to The Collection (Avenues) with construction to start sometime during the summer. Earth Fare features more truly organic food products than Whole Foods and at a slightly lower price point.
We need a Wholefoods in Cumming
Great store with lots of options.
Love it!
