Maybe there won't be another empty store in Bishop's Corner

A couple of weeks ago, news dropped that the Whole Foods in Bishop's Corner, due to a settlement with the FTC, would have to be sold. This news lead some, including myself, to wonder if this would mean another empty storefront in the already spotty shopping district, where empty buildings are becoming a very common sight.

But while shopping at Whole Foods today, I came across the market's official press release on the subject. And, while the company does need to try to sell the space to another vendor, there's a very good chance Whole Foods will be around in the space for many years to come. From the release:

If no buyer comes forward within the next six months, then Whole Foods Market will continue to serve you at this store and will offer the great products and customer service you have come to expect from us.

I suppose time will tell in this situation.
