When we think of healthy living, it obviously reminds us of… ourselves! So maybe we don’t eat as much kale salad as we should, but we sure aspire to. It is for this reason that we are so pleased to have our records and turntables on the shelves of a handful of Whole Body at Whole Foods Markets across California and in Brooklyn! Our goal has always been to spread love for vinyl records far and wide, and we are so pleased that Whole Foods shares the same passion. After all, ears, brains, and souls need TLC too, and the best way we know to keep them happy and healthy is by putting a needle to the groove.
Check out our wares in El Segundo, Fairfax, Oxnard, Pasadena, Santa Barbara, Tempe, Tustin, Venice and West Hollywood, as well as Brooklyn’s new Gowanus market/bar/restaurant/hangout/record store/bike repair/coffee shop — yes, really. We hope that the program will expand to additional cities in the future, so next time you’re getting your quinoa & wheatgrass fix, be sure to mention to the clerk that you’d love to see some vinyl in the aisles.

Third Man Records in select Whole Foods Markets
an elitist grocer? really? I understand capitalism, really I do. but this is just asinine. please explain this to me
I wondered about RSD at Whole Paycheck too….
So for RSD this year, I guess I’ll just head on over to my local Whole Paycheck (forget the Mom & Pop record store, right? who needs them?) and pick up my ‘sustainable, organically grown’ vinyl? seriously? Inquiring minds want to know- who thought this was a wonderful, winning idea?
Dear Vaulties…. this is no time to be elitist when it comes to financial stability and/accessibility
I thought your integrity had no price. I guess whole foods figured out what your price is. I feel like I just got to school only to discover that my best friend has joined my rivals. this is very upsetting, I think we might have to break up. why? WHY? WHY? but you laugh at cd’s sold at starbucks.
CINCI…. thats actually not the whole foods address in Nashville… its a similar address to the one in the story about the wild man in Philly who lost his mind for some unknown reason… Im like you… glad to see TMR choose a distributer who has good taste and one ups the current market options towards progressive and accessible wellness… Sorry to hear that folks dont get the baseline value in play but if you knew the story about some local health food franchises then maybe you would understand been shoppin’ the ALTERNATIVE market foe 20 years plus and working a system of standardized quality need not exclude the buy local philosophy while increasing the stability and accessibilty of those things and ideas which we really cannot live without… way to come up with some tastey and refreshing approaches to old school lemonade TMR!!!
LAME! L.A.M.E. Lame. how many other ways can I say it? bad taste in my mouth here Third Man. who are you? what have you done to yourself? WHOLE FOODS? reallY? wow. just, wow.
you do realize most people talk smack on vinyl being sold in Whole Foods, right? I mean, it’s like a running joke. I don’t get it.
quinoa and wheatgrass? So no more aspartame and high fructose corn syrup? if this is a clue, then I hope it means better health. cuz that other shit will catch up to ya, babe. eventually. I picture a bald man petting a bald cat, with his pinky in his mouth and sharks with laser beams on their heads……SSHHH!
PS#2: Just thought about my favorite stores for grocery shopping = the Kroger grocery store chain (Kroger’s home base = my original hometown, Cincinnati, Ohio). From gasoline, lawn furniture, plants, school supplies, etc., you can find a lot of odd ball stuff in Kroger grocery stores too. I would love to walk into my favorite Kroger stores in my TN hometown now and find TMR products there too, especially since TMR is my favorite place to visit, down the road in Nashville.
