That 80,000 sq. ft. includes parking? How many floors?

The Whole Foods nearby, in Devon, PA is *maybe* 20,000 sq. ft. and "maybe"
60 parking spaces.

It's so cramped in some aisles, it's practically single-file shopping.

It's still an experience. Women get all dolled up to go shopping there!
Gotta love it!!!
