Whole Foods signs lease at former Cobble Hill Rite Aid space

Whole Foods Market is expanding its presence in Brooklyn after signing a lease for a new location at 182 Smith Street. The space, located at the corner of Wyckoff Street in Cobble Hill, was previously occupied by a Rite Aid pharmacy.

The move follows a broader trend of the grocery chain taking over former pharmacy outposts across New York City. The 182 Smith Street site will serve residents of Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, and the surrounding neighborhoods.
