WF tried to open a store in uptown Mpls, a couple of years ago. It's the location of the Wedge Coop, the oldest and biggest coop grocery store in the Twin Cities (I'm a member, oldest son used to work there).

There was a huge outcry by the neighborhood against it as even those who aren't members wanted to save the Wedge. Ultimately, WF backed down, and excellent local food and unique organics at good prices are safe in that neighborhood. I always get my turkeys for Thanksgiving there, and only 1.99 a pound for true free range (run around outside all summer) turkeys.
