They have also over expanded in Berkeley/Oakland. Three WF between Lake Merritt and Albany is too many, and they are opening a 4th. They should open more in other parts of the East Bay, such as San Lorenzo, Freemont, other parts of Oakland, etc.
Only the 27th street WF is as good as the many, many other natural/whole/organic foods stores there.

They finally opened in Fremont a few years ago. A decent choice (though it cannibalizes some customers from PA)

As opposed to having longer checkout lines? How about investing in a non-shitty self checkout stand?
Does Santa Cruz need two stores (Capitola is practically Santa Cruz)? A Blossom Hill store? Competing with Los Gatos and Campbell?
