“The Oxnard and surrounding communities have waited patiently for this new Whole Foods Market to open and we are very excited to finally bring them their own store with features that reflect the unique lifestyle in this area, said Patrick Bradley, regional president for Whole Foods Market Southern Pacific Region. “Oxnard is considered an agricultural “hub” and we have many great local farmers and artisans based here whose products we look forward to bringing directly to our customers.”
The interior of the store reflects Oxnard’s beach culture with design elements inspired by exploration and travel. The color scheme within the new location is also a representation of the bright local colors of Oxnard.
“In addition to the quality and service our shoppers have come to expect in our other locations, the Oxnard store is unique not only for the products that we offer, but the commitment we will have with our residents and local vendors,” said Jerry Hanson, store team leader at Whole Foods Market Oxnard. We are excited to be part of a beautiful new center that has already become a popular shopping destination and look forward to bringing customers and experience that truly sets Whole Foods Market apart from any other market,” added Hanson.
