Conditional Use Permit Application
Whole Foods Market Dublin would like to merchandise products in front of the store on a
seasonal basis The largest time frame being from October through December when we would have
Pumpkins and Christmas trees respectively. In the spring we would have a garden center and then there
would be some times when putting melons or another seasonal fruit or vegetable outside would be an
option.These displays would be up 24 hours a day and maintained throughout.We would also have
flowers outside for Valentine's Day and for Mother's Day but these displays would go up and come
down daily and would only last for 2-3 days each. It would always be clean and well looked after and
would drive anywhere from 5-10k additional sales annually.
This change in our merchandising practices shouldn't have an effect on our staffing as it is
currently.We currently employee 240-250 Team Members or a regular basis.With the additional sales
and projected growth year over year I do see us continually growing our Team Member base as we
move forward
The hours and days of operation would stay the same as they are now which is 8am-lOpm seven
days a week.
The target audience would be the same customer base as we have now.We are not looking to
reach a different demographic outside of what we do daily to try and grow the business.
We look to benefit the community be continuing to offer healthy food options and a gathering
place for the residents of the area.These new products will also allow us to provide new sustainable
options to our customers that perhaps other retailers in the area don't offer.
We don't foresee our request disrupting area of our residents or fellow businesses.We actually
see it as providing more options for the residents and potentially bringing more business to the other
businesses in way of sales growth and foot traffic.
We absolutely will not be putting anyone at a health or safety risk with this request. We are
passionate about safety and at WFM and being and promoting a healthy lifestyle is what we are all
about
We do not foresee any negative effects on the property. We see this as a sales driving initiative
and a way to increase foot traffic for our store and the shopping center
We are not currently located on a hazardous waste site nor do we intend to request permission
to conduct any type of activity on or near one
In closing I would just like to enforce that our mission is to drive commerce and foot traffic to
the store and shopping center. We will do it in a clean,thoughtful and meaningful way. If at any point I
