Whole Foods Market will be filling the empty Blue Goose Market spot in downtown St. Charles, city officials said.
Whole Foods will be filling the empty Blue Goose Market site at 300 S. Second St. in downtown St. Charles, city officials said.
A press release from the city stated that a regional commercial development company specializing in grocery anchors, the Chicago-based Fort Union, “acquired the property and has successfully entered into a lease agreement with Whole Foods Market.”“The development plan includes substantial improvements to the building, a reconstruction and resurfacing of the parking lot and the completion of the First Street streetscape.
“There are some studies, a couple of years ago Forbes did one that found within one mile of where a Whole Foods is located, property values do tend to see an increase,” she said. “There isn’t a Whole Foods nearby. The nearest location is Wheaton ... Naperville and Schaumburg for some. Not every community gets these, and this is a huge win for us and for the Fox Valley, I would say.”
“How are we going to fill this empty building was a concern of our residents, and I think for the most part residents are happy. It is a premier brand,” she said. “There have been discussions about this in the past about getting a Whole Foods and years ago – the demographic that we had, our economic data which Whole Food calculated, was never meeting that need. But now, we’re becoming such an economic, booming city along with our sister cities, and I feel very fortunate that we landed it.
