new one opens up half a mile from my home, I will shop there in preference to Von's or Gelson's. WF is indeed a much more environmentally conscientious company, and supports in a large, tangible way the sort of food production/processing I want to see lots more of. They also label their produce for locale of origin, even down to what county if it's in CA. Von's and Gelson's do not (Von's has the nerve to call Mexican tomatoes "local").

WF has too many other positives associated with it for me to justify going elsewhere once I can get there easily.
