EDGEWATER — Whole Foods announced it would open its much-anticipated Edgewater store on April 29.

The grocer launched a Facebook and Twitter page to get the word out.

We're here #Edgewater! Stay up to date on all things #wfmedgewaterchi before the store opens on April 29! #wfmloveschi — WFM Edgewater CHI (@wfmedgewaterchi) March 18, 2015

Whole Foods took over the former Dominick's at 6009 N. Broadway and now appears to be ahead of schedule. A top company official said last summer he expected to open in June.

The high-end grocer's website says the new store's decor would be "inspired by early 1900s Chicago."

The store will also feature a wood-fired grill, store-made naan bread, pasta with specialty cheeses and a beer and wine bar, according to the website.
