An Impassioned Plea

For the love of god(s), put a Whole Foods in West Virginia.
John Mackey, you might be an anti-union libertarian vegan nutjob with what I could charitably describe as a non-mainstream view of business ethics, but I wil cheerfully donate you my firstborn if you open a Whole Foods in Charleston. (Sure, Huntington would be nice, but Charleston makes more sense for everyone.)
Seriously. I found myself walking round the Cincy branch on Saturday carefully considering the logistics of switching out our weekly grocery shop with a biweekly four-hour roundtrip to the Lexington store. And I still haven’t quite abandoned that idea.
