Whole Foods Market is a chain of grocery stores that sell natural and organic foods and products. They have expanded rapidly since 1980 by buying smaller natural foods store chains, including Wild Oats. They have over 270 stores in the United Kingdom and the United States.
On November 5, 2008, Green Equity Investors V bought 17% of Whole Foods' stock. The market chain has been affected by the economic crisis as consumers have cut back on gourmet, organic food products.BloggingStocks: Private equity firm takes a bite out of Whole Foods
