Chain specializing in local and organic edibles may be looking for a niche in an already crowded market, Milwaukee BizTimes says.
Consumers on the metro west side, already treated to the best grocery-shopping options around, may get yet another popular choice. Whole Foods is looking to site its second Milwaukee-area store in either Wauwatosa or Brookfield, according to a report in Milwaukee BizTimes. Among the options under consideration are the Blue Mound Road corridor and The Mayfair Collection development at West Burleigh Street and Highway 45, the report said. The BizTimes cited unnamed sources in commercial real estate for the report but also spoke to an industry analyst who said the move would be logical for Whole Foods and that the affluent west suburbs could support it.

As competition ramps up along the west side and settles down on the east side, on a plateau that rises much higher than the surrounding terrain – Wauwatosa has just got it really good when it comes to buying food.
David Livingston has spent more than 30 years studying the grocery business, measuring demographics, analyzing consumer likes and buying habits, tracking traffic.

As it should be. ;) Also, I was happy as a peach because I did some shopping at Target on the ol' V-D Day, saving $38 and paying $33. Not the craziest coupon outing ever, but I got all sorts of groceries and items that will be used asap, not put on display in the ol' stockpile closet. A definite plus.

In my opinion, the Brookfield, Elm Grove and Wauwatosa area are over saturated with grocer options.
