Yale Marketplace (Houston, Texas)

The map of this shopping center isn't too impressive. (Source: see entry)
Breaking from North West Loop Entries is Yale Marketplace, with a mixture of addresses on Yale Street and North West Loop. The map above is from this site and as of this writing, the numbers 1 through 9 represent 3004 Yale Street suites #100-900. 800 and 900 vacant, but the others are Verizon (100, Orangetheory Fitness (200), The Hive Salon & Beauty Bar (300), Glo Nail Lounge (400), Houston Dental Oasis (500), Pearle Vision (600), and The Lash Lounge (700). #10 is Houston Heights ER at 101 N. Loop West #300. But the real star of the show, of course, is Whole Foods Market.

This was initially branded as "365 by Whole Foods Market" when it officially opened August 22, 2018 but rebranded by 2022 as Whole Foods Market (after new parent company Amazon discontinued the brand). 365 was originally a limited service version of Whole Foods with fewer service departments and lower prices. In its early days it offered an outlet of the (now defunct) Peli Peli Kitchen and Juice Society, both through a program called "Friends of 365" that allowed local outside brands to operate within 365 stores. However, these have since closed down and replaced with a sandwich bar and juice bar, respectively.
