a special nut grinding machine. Beer and wine will be on tap – literally – with refillable stations for both. Traditional butchers will feature a 24-foot counter that will display some of Scotland’s finest meats, expertly prepared. Butchers will be cutting all the meat seen on the counter by hand and to order. Whole Foods beef is 100% Scotch and for flavor, comes mostly from slow-growing native breeds such as Galloway or Aberdeen Angus.  A unique feature of butchery is the dry aging case. Here, customers will be able to choose from ribs of beef and steaks aged between 28 and 35

days for extra tenderness and flavor. Every chicken sold by Whole Foods Market in the UK is free range and slow grown. All the pork and lamb are from Scottish farms and often from just one single source.  There will be up to 35 different varieties of sausage available, all made without MSG or artificial fillers. The commitment to Scottish cheeses and eggs bears out Whole Foods Market’s ability to create new shops that are completely in sync with the communities they serve.  The majority of the cheeses are Scottish and include some real “heroes” of farmhouse cheese making  that are currently available  including the Isle of Mull Cheddar, the Highland Fine Cheese company’s Black Crowdie and Devenick Dairy’s Brie. Ice cream in many flavors will be available from Thorntonhall Ice Cream and all the milk is from Scottish dairies. Whole Foods Market in Giffnock will be staffed by fully trained chefs and baristas serving an extensive range of hot and cold food as well as offering a smoothie and juice bar, a 34-seat café and an extensive menu of hot drinks made using regular or specialist milks. Sushi will be made fresh by hand in-house as will local favorite Cullen Skink at the new soup station.

Rotisserie chicken is equally popular in Europe among Whole Foods shoppers.

The ever-popular Rotisserie chicken (free range, of course) will be available by half or quarter sizes and here customers will be able to choose from some vegetable sides to go with it to make up one of the new Rotisserie meals.  In-house made burritos with a wide range of fillings will be made by Whole Foods chefs in front of shoppers and a self-serve  hot food bar including fish and chips, pizza and pies will help keep some of the winter cold away. Whole Foods Market’s Chefs Case will offer restaurant-quality food at take-out prices and the Meals to go range will be ready to pick up for heating and eating at home when time is short. Jeff Turnas, President of the UK Region said, “This is a place where you can shop with your conscience intact. Whole Foods Market offers a principled, thought-provoking, great tasting, community-led, social place to shop.” 
