Dear Resident:

It's time we had a Whole Foods Market in our community.

Whole Foods Market was founded in Austin, Texas, when four local businesspeople decided the natural foods industry was ready for a supermarket format. The original Whole Foods Market opened in 1980 with a staff of only 19 people. It was an immediate success. At the time, there were less than half a dozen natural food supermarkets in the United States. It has grown by leaps and bounds since the first store opened.

Isn't it time we had affordable naturally grown foods available in our neighborhood.

The requirements for a store include:

•200,000 people or more in a 20-minute drive time
•25,000-50,000 Square Feet
•Large number of college-educated residents
•Abundant parking available for our exclusive use
•Stand alone preferred, would consider complementary
•Easy access from roadways, lighted intersection
•Excellent visibility, directly off of the street
•Must be located in a high traffic area (foot and/or vehicle

This petition will be submitted to Whole Foods Market to demonstrate the demand that we have for a Whole Foods Market on 83rd to 95th Street Stony Island corridor.

Sincerely
