The Silicon Valley town of Los Gatos is getting a major grocery upgrade as a new, larger Whole Foods store is set to open next month. The new 40,039-square-foot grocery store will replace the existing 32-year-old Whole Foods location, which is less than a mile away and nearly half the size.

Why it matters

The town had outgrown the existing Whole Foods, and the new larger store will provide more options and amenities for the community. The new store is also seen as revitalizing a previously vacant property, strengthening the local economy.

The details

The new Whole Foods is located at 15650 Los Gatos Blvd., at the corner of Los Gatos-Almaden Road, and is scheduled to open on April 15. It will include more hot foods, seating, a coffee and smoothie bar, and other expanded offerings compared to the old 22,000-square-foot store at 15980 Los Gatos Blvd. The old store, which opened in 1994, will close when the new one debuts.

  • The new 40,039-square-foot Whole Foods is scheduled to open on April 15, 2026.
