Whole Foods has enormous growth potential. With only around 200 stores, compare it to Safeway, who operates over 2,000. And WF doesn't have to compete with Wal Mart the way Safeway does. Whole Foods is Best of Breed among its competitors like Wild...

Where I would shop if they had a store in my town. To help people like me, they are in the process of opening many new stores. This has caused some short-term profit squeeze, but should lead to long term accelerated growth.

Eating healthy continues to be a strong trend in the U.S. Organic is becoming more popular, with local grocery stores, national chains, and even Wal-Mart getting in on the act. In fact, Wal-Mart might prove to be some stiff competition if it can forc...
