Whole Foods is the last large tenant in Easton Gateway and they were one of the original tenants announced back in 2013 when the project was unveiled.
The 45,000 square foot store will be Whole Food’s 422nd store and the third in Columbus along with Lane Avenue and Dublin Grandville Road. They also opened their first store in the Dayton area last month.
The Easton Whole Foods will be a little different in that it will also have.
A fresh juice bar
Coffee bar
Outdoor patio and fire pit
An open seafood department
in-store bar with local beers, cocktails and wine.
The Columbus and Central Ohio triple net retail market is doing swimmingly. There’s plenty positive absorption in the market and lease up is fast. We still need fast casual and polished casual restaurant space in many areas of the city.
