Construction Starts on Whole Foods Market Maple Grove Store
A completion date has been tentatively scheduled for the new natural and organic foods supermarket.
In preparation for building reconstruction, fencing has been placed around the former Ultimate Electronics site at The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes.
In its place, Whole Foods Market is making progress toward moving in.
The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes turned over the former Ultimate Electronics property to Whole Foods in October 2012, according to Marketing Director Jennifer Zafft.
