Whole Foods Market will open a new store in Doral in July, a first for the Amazon-owned grocery franchise.

“The Doral store will be the furthest west Whole Foods Market location in the Miami metro, and we are excited to welcome new customers in this area,” Adrienne Hutchings, executive leader of operations for Whole Foods Market, said in an email to the Miami Herald. “Doral is one of the fastest growing Florida cities and a growing community needs the best options when it comes to high quality groceries and quick grab and go options.”

According to U.S. Census figures for Doral, the current population tops 83,000, an uptick of nearly 2,000 from 2025. Doral’s median household income, $94,164, is about 31% higher than the countywide median of $71,753.

The new store, which opens July 2, is at 10700 NW 41st St. east of Florida’s Turnpike and west of President Donald Trump’s golf resort.

The nearest competition? Four Publix supermarkets, a Winn-Dixie and an Aldi.

Opening day hoopla

“Doral is special because it’s a city where families and professionals have chosen to live because of the quality of life and opportunities available,” said Lidia Torres, store team leader for Whole Foods Market Doral.

“What excites me most is that the values of the Doral community align closely with those of Whole Foods Market, like health, quality and community,” she said. “I believe Whole Foods Market will thrive in Doral because the customer base is growing and is looking for the kind of experience we provide. We have the opportunity to become more than a grocery store, but also a meaningful part of the community’s daily life and culture.”
