The Statesman has this article today that says Whole Foods will be opening 2 new stores in the next 2 years in addition to the planned new store at the Domain.  One will be at the Hill Country Galleria, on Texas 71 and RM 620, and the other will be at the Arbor Trails Shopping Center at South MoPac and William Cannon Drive.  The article says:

The expansion comes as rivals, including Sprouts Farmers Market and Newflower Farmers Market , have come to town, promoting themselves as less-expensive alternatives to Whole Foods.

Sprouts has opened four Austin-area stores in the past year and has said it’s scouting for more locations.

One of Newflower’s two area stores is in the shopping center across Texas 71 from the Galleria.

Additionally, traditional grocers, including H-E-B and Randalls, have continued to expand their organic and natural foods offerings.
