Update - Blossom Hill Road Whole Foods

I find my updates on the Blossom Hill Road Whole Foods from numerous sources. Today's update comes from Scott Herhold's My Opinion column in the San Jose Mercury News (click on the title for the whole column).

The Landlord, Bruce Hamann, reports that construction will be starting soon and the Whole Foods is scheduled to open in year, on August 11, 2010. The store will only be 50,000 sf as compared to the original concept of 60,500 sf. Basically, everything is a year behind.

The column also mentioned the Stockton Ave/The Alameda store that has received approval for a 44,000 sf. It should probably come on line three to six months after the Blossom Hill store.
