Whole Foods first opened four blocks north on Lamar Boulevard and 10th Street, on September 20, 1980 when John Mackay and Renee Lawson Hardy merged their Safer Way Natural Foods with Craig Weller and Mark Skiles' Clarksville Natural Grocery. At 10,500 square feet and with staff of 19, it was much larger than the standard health food store of its time. Beginning in 1984, Whole Foods Market expanded, first to Houston and Dallas and then into New Orleans with the purchase of Whole Food Company in 1988. In 1989 they expanded to Palo Alto, California. The 1990's saw rapid expansion with the acquisition of other regional natural food chains. As of July 2012, there were 331 locations worldwide, reaching across the United States and into Canada and the United Kingdom.
