If you live in central Palm Beach County and are tired of making the drive to Boca Raton or Palm Beach Gardens or Wellington to get your Whole Foods fix, take heart.

The upscale grocery chain has just announced that it’s going to open a store in West Palm Beach in the Palm Beach Outlet mall, which will replace worn-out and (in the process of being) torn-down Palm Beach Mall at I-95 and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard.

No details except that the new market should come in at about 42,000 square feet, a bit smaller than the 50,000-square-foot Wellington market. As for a debut date, it’s tentatively set for late 2014, and as far as I’m concerned, it can’t get here fast enough.
