We are passionate about food. It’s very simple, but it inspires everything we do. From the rarest foods to the freshest produce, we constantly look for the finest items—specially chosen for our customers. Every trip to Kings is a chance for you to experience the sights, sounds and aromas of something special. Our passion for food hasn't stopped for 75 years. In 1936, the founders of Kings began with the humble purpose of finding the freshest produce around. They quickly learned who the best local farmers were and established relationships that would endure and evolve over the years. Today, our passion for food has increased along with the size of our business. We currently have over 24 locations, each one seamlessly integrated into the community it serves. So you'll find even more places where inspiration strikes.

Whole Foods was founded in 1980 on the belief that where food comes from, and how it’s grown, matters. It meant creating quality standards, working with suppliers who achieve them, and sharing that information with our customers. And it radically changed the way people understood and shopped for food. The result has been the highest quality natural and organic products, an unmatched experience in more than 500+ stores, with a passionate team of over 90,000 team members, 5 percent of our total net profits given back to our communities each year, and millions of customers who put their trust in us every day.
