The Whole Foods grocery store chain built a new store and three-story parking garage at the corner of Hydraulic Road and the planned Hillsdale Drive Extension in 2011. The project was developed by Riverbend Management[1] operating under the name Meadowbrook Creek LLC.[2] The store has 17,000 square feet of space and it opened with a bar inside.[3]

Status

The grocery store was completed in the summer of 2011, and the grand opening was held on June 7, 2011.[3]

Approval history

The Charlottesville Planning Commission approved a preliminary site plan application for the store and garage in the early hours of July 23, 2008.[4]

Kmart lawsuit

In May 2010, Kmart Corp. filed a lawsuit against Meadowbrook Creek, alleging that land Kmart leases next to Whole Foods is being used for permanent improvements that Kmart's lease forbids, specifically beginning construction of the Hillsdale Drive Extended and other improvements within the boundaries of Kmart's leased property.[5]
