Whole Foods in Tulsa (brookside) is set to close

I believe the date will be sometime in April. I'm sure we will find out soon.

insider info: after the recent sop audit, multiple regionals whom have become personal friends have divulged our store is in fact closing....depending on summer slump sales and sop compliance.

Guys, FYI, naming names not allowed here. Check the site rules somewhere at the footer. Made that mistake 2 months ago, admins nuked all I ever written and banned my IP. On proxy ever since, pain in the a--, super slow.

This is a great place to go if you and a friend need to take a "number 4."

Worked for WFM for 16 yrs. Transfered and worked at several different stores in different states. When I moved back to Tulsa, my home base, got treated like sh--. This company has gone downhill. Left WFM and retail. Best decision I ever made!

When that store closes you will probably have less than a weeks notice and will know via the news.

If you don't think your local Reasors has roach/rodent problems, you are living in DENIAL. Welcome to food retail. Don't look to closely at any of your local Brookside restaurants/businesses either. Welcome to the food industry (20+ years experience). As for Team Members who currently work here and complain about store cleanliness, I don't see a lot of people grabbing the mop or dust rag. Help yourself! Also if you want to complain about the leaky roof, go b--ch at the Land Lord.

As far as leadership problems, that's a whole separate issue.

P.S. - they aren't closing the Brookside store.

Yeah, this place is NASTY. There are roaches and rats in the prepared foods area. They should learn how to clean! I will not be surprised if the health department shuts us down for that department. I don't even believe that the floors are even mopped. No one cares so everyone does what they want to do. I always bring my lunch or eat across the street at Lambrusco's, Coney Islanders, or sneak to the store in the same parking lot!

What are the weekly sales at TLS like these days? When I left, comps in every dept were abysmal, like -50%. We were happy when we got them closer to -20%.

It has been really sad watching this store deteriorate over the last few years. Empty shelves, dirt, dust, mold, bugs & rodents, old equipment constantly breaking, miserable employees. Any time it rains, there are literally dozens of buckets all over the sales floor because of the leaky roof. And once or twice a week, freezers/coolers both BOH & FOH break down & are out of commission. It was so embarrassing for all of us who gave a flip about our jobs.

From what I gather, former Wild Oats locations and those under 200k weekly are sitting ducks. I wish all my former comrades at Brookside the best, but I don't think anyone would be surprised by this store closing.

Not true. No stores in the SW region are closing.

Yeah! Not surprised, no one shops there. It's like stepping into a nice Kmart. Reasors killed that store
