In 2015, organic food giant Whole Foods announced that it would open its first Edmonton location. Whole Foods is known for their supermarket-approach to the sale and distribution of organic, high-end groceries.

Whole Foods identified an existing building in South Edmonton for their new home, and Arrow’s Mechanical and Electrical teams were hired to work with Dialog architecture to design the renovation of the existing space.

Mechanical work included the design of HVAC systems, water, sanitary and gas for existing CRU demising, construction administration and shop drawing review. Arrow’s Electrical team worked to review and revise existing electrical layouts to coordinate with architectural design, reviewed electrical distribution design as required to accommodate CRU design, and provided construction administration and shop drawing review.

Ultimately, Whole Foods’ expansion into Edmonton was cancelled due to unforseen economic conditions in Alberta. Currently the Whole Foods Market space is to be transformed into space targeted for an alternate purpose.
