Destin Commons announced Wednesday that Whole Foods was coming to the shopping center, with construction beginning in 2015. The announcement caused plenty of chatter on social media. Here’s what some of The Log’s Facebook friends had to say.
Sandra Early: In the Destin Commons. Couldn't they find a more convenient location?
Doug Kimbro: Rather go to Publix..
Eric Brown: Yup let's build more, and have less available parking! Smh.
Amanda Johnson: Yes! This just made my day!
Rita Faith Kirkland: love!
Jan Lofton Roberts: Awesome!
Sara Burbank: Hallelujah!
Marshall Holcomb: Fantastic!
Christopher Staats: Can't wait.
Mike LeDuc: Trader Joes > whole foods ALL DAY LONG....stupid though....like we really need ANOTHER store around here. If anyone with half a brain out there should open up an Ikea in between the Bass Pro and Rooms To Go in that gravel area.
Toan Huynh Pham: Why don’t they build a Dave n Busters somewhere here in Destin? That’ll be a great hangout spot for all families.
Pat Perrotta: It's about time can't wait!
Gwyn Michalk Duplantis: Finally! Love Whole Foods!
Karen Braemer: Good news!
Lisa Aitken: GOOD! Can we get a Costco Please!
Sarah Bustin: Much rather have a Trader Joes but Whole Foods is good...just so much more expensive!
Keith Ousterhout: Great! We love the Whole Foods Market in Jackson, MS.
Jenny Hemsworth-Segno: Awesome!! But, where? The commons is already packed!
Michael Henges: I love WF, but their stock has been getting hammered. Their microscopic profit margins makes a move into a high-overhead space like the Commons questionable.
Paul Ingram: Hey! Same lettuce as Krogers but under mood lighting and with classical music, for twice the price!
Rick Campbell: Yeah! I'll pay the bridge toll there and back gladly! Love Whole Foods!
