Whole Foods eyeing Scotland for growth

Glasgow, Scotland Whole Foods Market is negotiating to enter Scotland, according to a report by The Herald Scotland on Wednesday.

The grocer, which currently operates in and around London, is said to be in advanced negotiations to take over a former Safeway space in Giffnock, near Glasgow.

The multimillion-pound development could result in a jobs boost for the south side of Glasgow and should, according to the report, help local businesses recover from the slump that coincided with the closure of the Safeway store in Fenwick Road almost three years ago.
