Whole Foods Market Inc. will have a tax-free shopping day for all customers on April 15 at its seven metro Atlanta stores.
The Tax Day offer is also good at the Austin, Texas-based grocery chain’s (NASDAQ: WFMI) stores in Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Sales taxes range from 6 percent to 9.5 percent depending on store location.
Stores also will have deep discounts on select items on tax-free shopping day, Whole Foods said.
“Some shoppers might choose to stock up, while others might decide to ‘trade up’-- trying a different cheese or wine or cut of meat that might not typically be on their shopping list,” said Scott Allshouse, South region president for Whole Foods Market, in a statement. “Whatever the motivation, we want to give our customers a little shopping break on Tax Day and we know every little bit helps.” |
