For Vendors Only
Thank you for your interest in Whole Foods Market. We are very interested in receiving information about your company and your products. The following is the information you need to proceed.
Due to the diversity in the customer base amongst our seven different geographical regions, we review products for approval at the regional level. Each of our seven different regional offices have different review procedures, which require that information and product samples be submitted in very specific ways to key individuals. For your convenience, we maintain lists of our regional offices and our stores on this website, under the menu choice "Store Locations" on the top of each page.
Each region has the following Coordinators/Buyers for different categories of products:
- Grocery, which includes dry goods, dairy, frozen, & general merchandise
- Nutrition, which includes supplements and personal care
- Prepared Foods
- Produce
- Meat
- Seafood
- Specialty, which includes cheese, beer, & wine
All new items must be submitted to the regional office(s).
Products that fall outside the above categories are handled differently in the different regions. Please request information regarding how to present these types of products, when contacting our regional offices.
Additionally, due to the overwhelming volume of new product information submitted, Whole Foods Market can only offer to contact you if we are interested in your product(s). Providing complete and accurate information in your new product submissions can help to expedite the process.
Again, thank you for contacting Whole Foods Market.
