Whole Foods exec: No tattoo shops planned for new chain yet
The company says its "365" chain will have a minimalist layout, affordable prices and third-party vendors who set up shop inside the stores.
[...] Turnas said the press coverage about the potential tattoo parlors sparked genuine excitement among his employees, who started asking if they would be able to use their employee discounts for tattoos.
The offshoot chain by Whole Foods comes as sales growth has slowed at the company's flagship stores, which are being pressured by traditional supermarkets with expanded organic selections.
[...] the Austin, Texas company says 365 will help it reach new customers, particularly those who want more affordable prices or are looking for a quicker shopping experience.
