For a while now, it's been rumored that the SportsPlus is going out of business and that Whole Foods will take over the building. Well, an unnamed source that I have in the local commercial real estate business confirmed it yesterday.
This is awesome news. I drive about an hour each way to their Jericho store now and this new one would only be 10-15 minutes...with traffic!
I have calls and emails in to both Whole Foods and SportsPlus to further confirm the rumor. Hopefully I'll get a timeframe as well.
If only they could sell wine (or Costco for that matter), but for New York's ridiculous liquor distribution laws.

Hi Lenn,
I love that store! There is one less than 5 minutes from me that is really nice. However, this week I visited a mega Whole Foods that is only 30 minutes from me to check out their new state of the art wine tasting room, which is operated by 10 Enomatic wine dispensing systems. It’s a really nice store with several mini restaurants and oodles of other ready to eat gourmet fare all throughout the store.
Check my site for a shot of Virginia's latest high tech tasting room. Hope you guys get one!

Don't count on it Lenn--my son works for Whole Foods and tells me it is no longer in the works.

This week's release of earnings ended with a list of new leases signed. Lake Grove was not on the list.

Very good post. Made me realize I was totally wrong about this issue. I figure that one learns something new everyday. Mrs Right learned her lesson! Nice, informative website by the way.
