A north shore location would do well. Probably one of their next Louisiana locations imo

That one is confusing to me. Seems like the northshore would be a better option.

"Whole Foods Market will open a store in Lafayette next year. Spokeswoman Kristina Bradford says the store, expected to open in 2014, will be a 36,200-square-foot facility in the development at the northeast corner of Ambassador Caffery Parkway and Settler's Trace Boulevard. The announcement came the same day Whole Foods said it would add a second store to New Orleans, bringing to five the number of locations it will have in the state once the new locations come online".

Settlers Trace at Ambassor is going to be extremely congested. Even worse than it already is...

So that big tract accross from Academy. Just what I need more River Ranch moms in tennis outfits and range rovers blocking traffic while I am trying to get to work.

The Mid-City hipsters and the new Medical Complex is what is driving the Broad Street location.

I can see them doiing that. New WF's are pretty bad arse with how they add to a typical grocery store idea. Plus the one in Laffy should have a ton of space to have cool options
