Off-topic, but I don't think Whole Foods really qualifies as a "yuppie chain" anymore. I feel like they've successfully transitioned to a full-blown grocery store for people who want to live an organic lifestyle, which is no longer a small-market trend.


I don't think it has anything to do with size really, it's more about the variety of people who shop there. I don't shop there often, but the times I have, I have noticed the people shopping there weren't exactly representative of the general population.


Perhaps our understandings of "yuppie" differ, but young people who can responsibly afford to choose an "organic lifestyle" certainly fit mine.
