After a power outage set it back last week, Whole Foods will celebrate its grand opening Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 7:45 a.m. through Sunday. There’ll be live music, cooking demonstrations and lots of specials.
But as you might’ve read in Jennifer Reed’s last shopping column, just as soon as the new Whole Foods sign is up up, it may have to come down again. A U.S. appeals court recently reopened the monopoly claim the Federal Trade Commission pursued soon after the merger was announced last year. Anti-trust experts have said that while undoing the deal would be difficult, it wouldn’t be impossible. There’s no immediate timetable for the federal district court to rule on the case.
