Dad Saves America | Whole Foods Market Barely Survived Year One @DadSavesAmerica | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
When John Mackey leased a building for the first Whole Foods Market in 1980, his landlord warned him that it would flood once every 100 years. Little did he know, the flood of the century was only one year away. What followed was an inspirational story of how an entrepreneur with a strong vision can inspire his team and community to stick by his side, even when all appears to be lost. Employees, customers, investors, and even a banker came to the rescue and helped Whole Foods Market survive long enough to grow into the iconic brand it is today.
