The questions readers actually ask: what time does Whole Foods open today, what are the Sunday hours, is the store open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, how to get the Amazon Prime member 10% discount, and how to reach customer service at 1-844-WFM-TALK.
One thing to know: Whole Foods runs 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM seven days a week at most stores (Sunday matches weekday hours, similar to Kroger), Christmas Day is the only universal closure, and most stores also close on Thanksgiving Day under Amazon-era corporate policy. Amazon Prime members get an extra 10 percent off sale items by scanning the Amazon One palm reader, the Whole Foods app, or a Prime-linked credit card at checkout. The value-priced natural-grocery alternative Sprouts Farmers Market serves a similar shopper in Western and Southern US markets without the Amazon Prime discount layer.
