Good news for health-conscious shoppers in Valrico—Whole Foods is reportedly planning to open a new location in the area. For those who prioritize organic, natural products and high-quality fresh produce, this could be a welcome addition to the local grocery store scene.
Despite its popularity, Whole Foods hasn’t made it to every corner of the state yet. With only about 33 locations in Florida, not everyone has easy access to the chain’s offerings. Whole Foods is known for its focus on organic and natural products, and many Floridians who shop there speak highly of its selection and customer service.
For Valrico residents who prioritize fresh, organic food, this new store could provide an exciting alternative to existing grocery options.

Although the opening date hasn’t been confirmed yet, a spokesperson for Whole Foods revealed to the Tampa Business Journal that a Valrico store is “in development.” Additionally, filings with Hillsborough County point to plans for a 38,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market at Lithia Crossing. This location, near a Publix and other popular retailers, is set to occupy a space previously held by Fresh Market, which now sits empty.
