Whole Foods Market opened its new 32,000-square-foot Weehawken store on Friday, located in The Shops at Lincoln Harbor, making it the 20th Whole Foods supermarket in New Jersey.

"Weehawken has a vibrant community," said a spokesperson for Whole Foods when asked why the company chose to locate in the Hudson County township. The spokesperson added that as with all Food Whole shops, the Weehawken store features food from local providers – including 150 "local" suppliers from the metropolitan area and all of New Jersey. "The store is designed for the community," the spokesperson said.

In addition to fresh produce, seafood, meats, ready-to-eat meals, an antipasti bar and hundreds of organic products from beverages to body care, what "local" items will shoppers find?

For starters, a full-service coffee bar helmed by Café Grumpy, a Brooklyn-based chain of coffee shops. The cafe serves nitro-cold-brewed coffee on tap, single origin coffee selections and seasonal drinks and also offers a “commuter combo” coffee and pastry pairing during rush hours and a discount for customers who bring their own coffee mugs.

At the expansive in-house bakery, shoppers can take home baked goods from area bakeries, including Englewood's Balthazar Bakery and New York City's By the Way Bakery.

The store features an extensive selection of cheeses from local suppliers such as Long Valley-based Valley Shepherd Creamery, charcuterie offerings from Charlito’s Cocina of Long Island City and a self-serve fresh pasta bar with offerings from Westmont-based Severino Pasta Company.

And FYI: If you want to pick up a bottle of wine or a six-pack before heading to a BYO dinner, no such luck here — unlike the Paramus location, this new Whole Foods does not sell alcohol.
