The Whole Foods Market Mac & Cheese Bar comes as the latest concept by the brand that will help to offer shoppers with a different kind of dining experience within the natural food retailer's location in downtown Denver.
Coming as a "grocerant" concept that puts a restaurant-style eatery in a grocery store, the pasta bar will offer shoppers with access to ample macaroni, cheese and even vegan options to choose from. Decadent meat options like pulled pork will also be made available to satisfy preferences for more artisanal approaches to the classic pasta comfort food.
The Whole Foods Market Mac & Cheese Bar, as previously mentioned, will be test marketed at the brand's location in Denver to see how it fares and if it's a viable option to roll out nationwide.
