Is one of the highest
standard supermarket in orange county selling the highest quality products . Whole
foods defines quality by evaluating the ingredients, freshness, safety, taste,
nutritive value and appearance of all of the products they carry.
The Market has a contemprary
design with nutral color to maximize the desplay of freshness and quality it
also utilizes the use of sapce to give shoppers the best shopping experience
possible.
The exterior spanish design
with the spanish roof tiles and red brick pavers provides an inviting feeling
to people passing by and goes with the overall theme of Fashion Island.
The fire pits and exterior heaters gives the ultimate warm
feeling added to that the glass surrounding fencing that allows light and
spaciousness .
The direction of lighting at the fruit/ vegetable area is
poor and can be improved by using LED lighting instead of the florescent
lights, the column could be used as a good location for added lights.
The distribution and layout of goods is too crowded and can
be spread in an efficient way.
Too many signs are used in a limited area and could have
been distributed better
The displays of food and fruits are very well lid and clear
to buyers, the back wall that has a horizontal wood siding gives a great
matching look with the bar theme .
Metal trusses on top of the lighting area are painted in a
light color and should have been darker to make it less visible
The restaurant has very nice bench seating which a great way
for social and family dining, the use of brick veneers on the wall makes the
area look dark and not that inviting a warmer and cozier color would have been
a better choice.
The wall mirror gives a feeling of space and an excellent
distribution of light, the pendent light are matching the overall look and fits
the general theme.
A restaurant at a grocery store should provide openness and
relaxation for shoppers which is provided with an architectural identity .
The seafood display area is planned in the right location
where every shopper would pass by the combination of white and blue gives a
relation to the ocean colors and feels
fresh, The glossiness of the concrete epoxy colored finish looks bigger,
cleaner and comfortable for shoppers
The use of high ceilings with stacked windows brings more
daylight and makes the fast food dining area looks spacious, The decorative
material hanging from the ceiling is matching with the theme.
The Use of an Arch elevation at the bar area with the white
columns outside gives a true Spanish architectural feeling when sitting in the
bar area, the non-slippery floor tile provides comfort and safety for
customers.
The Table layout which allows the comfortable movement and
invites gusts to use the nice covered patio. The Bar lights are very nice and
have an antique and elegant look .
The Dairy displays is a focal point with a horizontal design
the allows easy access the location at the end of the store makes shoppers go
through less desirable areas to get to the more important ones.
The usage of lighter color righting on the wood siding
surrounding the displays in not as eye catching as a dark color
The exterior use of the stucco color with the
contrast of metal gives a new look and matches the floor to ceiling windows
used at the corner elevation, the green awnings shows the effect of the
contemporary design in the middle of a luxurious shopping area

I frequent Whole Foods often and they really know how to make food look good! It is like the Disneyland for food!
I have seen this place time to time but haven't had a chance to go. After reading this, I'll definitely go there to check this place out.
The natural lighting in there really does help out a lot! I agree with you in saying that sometimes the layout and signage can be a bit confusing, but it is hard being such a big store
I really enjoy the signage, which makes it look more personal, instead of just old regular and boring font being displayed.
I have gone to the Whole Foods in Huntington Beach and Tustin/Irvine but not in Newport Beach yet. I like seeing the little unique details each one has. The wood planks in the dairy section is a detail I like.
I agree the natural light is very important, The front sign is great
after reading about this market and by looking to the pictures I can tell it's is nice and clean place to go for shoping,the color scheme is neutral, I'll definitely go there.
We all love Whole Foods. You can never walk out of that place without buying something new to try, lots of healthy choices too.
