COLLEGEVILLE, PA – Kimberton Whole Foods plans to open a 12,800-square-foot grocery store in the Collegeville Shopping Center. The independent natural grocer focuses on providing customers with natural, organic and non-GMO groceries, prepared foods and supplements in a convenient environment. “We’re excited to announce our sixth location in the Greater Philadelphia Area. This will be our largest store yet, featuring a full commercial kitchen with hot and cold bars, freshly made sushi, a larger selection of fresh-baked goods, specialty coffee, juice and sandwich station, expanded produce and floral departments and a deli with sliced meats and cheese,” said Terry Brett, owner of Kimberton Whole Foods.
