Whole Foods to take over south Boulder Lucky’s Market location

BOULDER — Whole Foods Market is set to replace the bankrupt Lucky’s Market in the anchor unit of the Table Mesa Shopping Center in Boulder.

In a statement, property manager W.W. Reynolds Real Estate Services said the Amazon Inc. subsidiary recently signed a lease to take over the 32,000 square feet at 695 S. Broadway. It is not known when the store plans to open.

Whole Foods operates two other stores in Boulder at 2905 Pearl St. and 1275 Alpine Ave., which operates as Ideal Market. The company did not return a request for comment Thursday afternoon.

Lucky’s, headquartered in Niwot, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late January after announcing that it would close 32 stores out of its peak size of 39. The closures came about a month after grocery titan Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) announced that it would divest its investment stake in Lucky’s.

Bo and Trish Sharon, the Boulder couple that founded the stores, agreed to buy seven stores across the country, including the north Boulder and Fort Collins locations.

BizWest confirmed Wednesday that Alfalfa’s Market Inc. was planning to take over the former Lucky’s location at 700 Ken Pratt Blvd. in Longmont after filing for a sales-tax license.
