whole foods Whole Foods (MLive file photo) SAGINAW, MI — A group on Facebook is hoping to catch the attention of food retailers Whole Foods and Trader Joe's to consider a new location somewhere in Bay, Midland or Saginaw counties. Allison Phelps, a spokeswoman for Whole Foods, said a variety of factors are considered when looking to develop a new location. Those factors include the cost of real estate, the amount of educational institutions in an area, the educational level of residents and the interest level of a community. Phelps said her company wouldn't rule out the idea of developing a store in the Great Lakes Bay Region some day and recommended those interested in a local store leave a suggestion on the company's website.
