The Whole Deal

The nation's largest natural-foods grocery chain is trying to turn shoppers into diners. Opened last month, Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market's new Denver store features cafe-style offerings, including Italian trattoria, sit-down barbecue and seafood station. While many Whole Foods Markets

offer seating and hot foods, the Denver location is one of just four stores that offer seafood. The restaurant, adjacent to the store's seafood department, features fish sandwiches and fillet plates, as well as grilled and fried fish and shrimp.

The market, which also features five salad bars and a specialty candy counter with a chocolate fountain, has cafe-style seating throughout.
