FYI: Whole Foods Markets has purchased Wild Oats food chain (aka Henry’s Market) for $565M

FYI: The folks at last night’s University Heights community meeting learned from an Albertson’s grocery chain representative that they have plans to raze their North Park store (University at Louisiana) and develop underground parking, a 54,000 square-foot store, two more levels of parking on top of that, then 240 condos around the parking deck on levels two and three, then more up from there. She didn’t say how tall it would be but there will be a courtyard in the middle (not visible from the street). Albertson’s are asking for the lot to be zoned up to accommodate this project.
