Chicago<\/strong>\u2014Mayor Rahm Emanuel joined Whole Foods Market<\/a> officials as the company broke ground on its new 150,000-square-foot Midwest distribution center in South Side Chicago last week. Whole Foods is relocating its current distribution center in Munster, Ind., to Chicago\u2019s historic Pullman neighborhood. The facility is scheduled for completion in early 2018, and is set to initially employ 150 people and serve as many as 70 Whole Foods Market locations across the Midwest and Ontario, Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a renaissance happening in Pullman and this Whole Foods center will only make it stronger,\u201d Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. \u201cBy investing in our neighborhoods and supporting projects like this distribution center, we are creating economic opportunities for families throughout Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plans for the project were revealed in the spring<\/a>. Whole Foods\u2019 new facility will join two of its suppliers, Method<\/a> and Gotham Green, in the bustling Pullman neighborhood. A number of developments are currently underway in the neighborhood, including the $135 million Pullman Park retail project and a $15 million community center.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith major projects like this Whole Foods distribution center, the Pullman\/Roseland area is reclaiming its history as a thriving hub for manufacturing and innovation,\u201d said 9th<\/sup> Ward Alderman Anthony Beale. \u201cAs this facility grows it will add even more jobs and have an even stronger impact in the 9th<\/sup> ward.\u201d<\/p>\n
