Whole Foods Market arguably offers more organics than any other large retailer. Thousands of organic items, including private-label organic products are offered at Whole Foods and sales are estimated at 8.0 billion for 2010. The company employs 54,000 team members and runs more than 270 stores in North America and the UK.

A recent consumer survey by World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) voted Whole Foods the most "Humane" grocer. However, the company is involved in the controversial sourcing of organics from China and many consumers joke about Whole Foods' "Whole Paycheck" costs. Whole Foods will need to continue to step up their game if they want to keep hold of their successful organic retail standing.
