Whole Foods Market Plans Get Official Look

There are more signs Whole Foods Market is coming to Westfield Countryside Mall.

For example: The renderings planners filed in order to get direction from officials with the city's Building Plan Review Committee about bringing the nearly 38,000-square-foot store to space sliced out of the Sears at the mall.

The committee is expected to review Wednesday the conceptual plans, which show different views of a modern facade and the Whole Foods logo.

Sears would keep the south entrance near BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse and the service and merchandise pick-up entrances on the north part of the building. New facades would be installed at the Sears entrances. The four loading bay docks would be split.

Whole Foods customers would access the store from the west entrance of Sears. There would not be an entry to the grocery store from inside the mall. Inside, the escalators would be moved, and a wall would be built. 

The store is expected to open sometime in 2014.
