New Whole Foods To Open In Summerlin, Nevada

You heard right, the Whole Foods franchise is expanding west in Las Vegas. Where is this new shopping outlet going to be? You may have guessed it, near Downtown Summerlin the upscale outdoor shopping mall. The new building will sit on 48,000 square feet and on the corner of Sahara and Town Center Dr. according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. The building sits on the back of Spruce Goose and Sahara where Clark County Fire Station No. 28 operates.

An open date has not been disclosed just yet. When one thing closes another thing opens, usually. In this case, the Whole Foods on W Charleston will be closing, states the Review Journal. As it may be sad, the new location will be a lot bigger with more glamorous features. The article share how the new building will offer three restaurants and a huge Starbucks.

With more shopping also means more traffic. Good luck navigating up Sahara. We may be taking Charleston up and cutting across Town Center.

The Whole Foods is currently under construction but we are hoping that the builders factor in a good size parking lot. Vegas gets spoiled by having parking lots compared to it's sister state of California who doesn't know what those are.

Las Vegas continues to grow in every direction of the Valley. Each year the city looks more and more different. New hotels, restaurants, grocery stores and housing developments. The Tanager apartment residents will really benefit by having another grocery store within walking distance of their home. Currently, Trader Joes can be shopped at inside Downtown Summerlin.

Our once little town is turning into a major player amongst the biggest cities. We hope traffic doesn't get too out of hand, as it's nice to able to get anywhere in the city within 25-30 minutes.

Bagels are a premiere breakfast food item that often times gets overlooked by it's sweeter competitor, the doughnut. Though these doughy circles are not as sugary they are sure to curve an appetite for breakfast goers on the go. Las Vegas has quite a few bagel eateries that stretch across the valley for many to try.

Bagel places caught on to the consumer needs when they expanded their menus and toppings. Sorry cream cheese you are great, don't get us wrong but you needed to phone in a friend. Spicing up a bagel can be endless with the toppings possibilities. Adding the "not-so-typical" bagel toppings has exploded over social media creating a new wave of bagels. Have you tried Hot Cheetos, pesto spread, or lox? Completely out of this world!

Plus, bagels make the perfect handheld sandwich size making the conventional bagel useable in more ways than one. Bagels are going outside the box and in the best way possible. The breakfast bagel is a common sandwich many customers may see with eggs, bacon and cheese or the Lox cream cheese, tomato, onion, and capers version. No matter which you prefer, bagel places have come a long way.

Bagels have a cult following like any food but what's special is that these shops offer a place for the community to gather, work and mingle. Though many of the places are small, they are widening Vegas' culinary exploration.

Vegas has exploded with more bagels shops outside of Einstein Bros. Bagels. We will always have a soft spot for you Einstein as you were a trailblazer in the bagel space.
