In 1978, 25-year-old college dropout John Mackey and his 21-year-old girlfriend Rene Lawson, borrowed $45,000 from family and friends to open a small natural foods store called SaferWay in Austin, Texas. The name was a spoof of Safeway, owner of Dominick’s.
When the couple were evicted from their apartment for storing food products in their apartment unit, they decided to live at the SaferWay store. Because it was zoned for commercial use, there was no shower stall. They bathed using a water hose attached to a dishwasher.
They survived a flood that caused $400,000 damage to their store. They had no insurance, but customers pitched in to help them recover because they didn’t want to see the store disappear.
Today John Mackey is the co-CEO with Walter Robb overseeing over 320 stores in North America. Whole Foods Market only sells products that meet its own quality standards declared as “natural”, which the store defines as: minimally processed foods that are free of hydrogenated fats, and free of artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, preservatives, and many others as listed on their online “Unacceptable Food Ingredients” list.
Here is the Unacceptable Food List as viewed on the Whole Foods Market website on March 6, 2013 …
We reserve the right to change this list at any time. Please note that creating a product with no unacceptable ingredients does not guarantee that Whole Foods Market will sell it. This list is intended for illustrative purposes only. If you are interested in selling your product to Whole Foods Market, please contact a WFM buyer.
