The Great California Whole Foods Hunt: How Many Avocados Can One State Handle?
Ah, California. Land of sunshine, surf, and...wait for it...Whole Foods. But just how many Whole Foods are we talking about? Are we talking a sprinkle of organic kale chips here, or a full-on buffet of quinoa and kombucha?
Dramatic Pause (while we consult our highly scientific spreadsheet of not-so-scientific guesses)
According to our calculations (and a healthy dose of Californian sunshine), there are roughly 102 Whole Foods locations scattered across the Golden State. That's a whole lot of organic produce, enough to feed a state obsessed with avocado toast (and with good reason, because those California avocados are next level).
Disclaimer: This is a purely lighthearted exploration, and the actual number of Whole Foods could be slightly more, slightly less, or even...slightly more! Maybe they're hiding some secret Whole Foods tucked away in redwood forests, where you can forage for your groceries and pay with crystals (kidding... mostly).
But hey, one thing's for sure: California has a love affair with fresh, healthy food, and Whole Foods is definitely part of the story. Whether you're a die-hard organic enthusiast or just looking for a decent salad bar, there's a good chance you'll find yourself wandering the aisles of a Whole Foods in California sooner or later.
So next time you're cruising down the California coast, keep an eye out for the telltale signs of a Whole Foods: a cluster of Priuses in the parking lot, a distinct lack of neon signs (because, you know, bougie), and an intoxicating aroma of fresh bread and exotic fruits.
