McKinney’s West Grove District says the wait is almost over — Whole Foods Market will officially open at 8701 West University Drive just before fall arrives on Sept. 22. Consider it a seasonal gift for anyone who prefers their pumpkins organic.

The store will occupy a 45,000-square-foot space within the West Grove development, near the intersection of Custer Road and West University Drive.

The Austin-based grocery chain, known for its wide selection of natural, organic, vegan, keto-friendly and gluten-free products, has grown to over 500 locations across the U.S. The McKinney location will bring those offerings closer to Collin County shoppers.

A Growing West Grove Community

Whole Foods at  8701 W. University Drive, Ste. 300, will serve as the anchor tenant for West Grove, a 52-acre master-planned community developed by De La Vega Development. The company announced the grocery store's arrival back in March 2022 as part of the broader vision for West Grove.

In addition to shopping, the community is expanding its residential options. As Local Profile previously reported, construction is underway on Atheria at West Grove, a luxury apartment and townhome community designed to house nearly 400 residents. Atheria, developed by Milhaus and FrontRange Capital Partners, is located within West Grove.

“McKinney is, arguably, one of the best markets in North Texas, and Atheria at West Grove’s thoughtful approach to high-end suburban living, integrated within a vibrant mixed-use community, is anticipated to attract individuals and families alike,” said Ben Mantor, development associate at Milhaus, in an official statement. “This sets a new standard in the fast-growing DFW suburban market.”

The 389-unit project will blend luxury townhomes and apartment flats, offering a mix of floorplans with upscale finishes. Townhomes will include two-car garages, two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, farmhouse-style kitchen sinks, wine refrigerators, front porches and covered balconies. Apartments will come in one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts with covered patios and “tuck under” garages for each building.
