West Grove is anchored by Whole Foods, which broke ground in March and is set to open sometime this year. Chick-fil-A opened its doors in March 2024. “I’m so excited because I haven’t been to Whole Foods in forever, and I love all of the stuff they have,” senior Chloe Dias said. “They have so many hot foods, soups, salad bars, and even a smoothie shop. I could live there. I also can’t wait to have access to higher quality produce on days the Frisco Market isn’t open.”
