Whole Foods Market(R) Makes FORTUNE's '100 Best Companies to Work For' List for 12th Consecutive Year
Date:1/22/2009

New Job Growth and Enthusiasm of Young Workforce Among Reasons Company is Honored with No. 22 Spot

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FORTUNE magazine ranked Whole Foods Market (Nasdaq: WFMI), No. 22 on its 2009 list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For." The Company has made the list consecutively for 12 years and is one of only 13 companies to be named every year since the list's inception.

"We congratulate and thank each and every one of our valued Team Members who have put us on this prestigious list again this year. It is their devotion and enthusiasm that have led to our success, and we are fortunate to have such talented and dedicated Team Members who satisfy and delight our shoppers every day," said Whole Foods Market CEO and co-founder John Mackey. "To be recognized a dozen years in a row validates Whole Foods Market's commitment to our core value of 'Supporting Team Member Happiness and Excellence'."

FORTUNE noted that the slowing economy "has not curbed the enthusiasm of this young workforce (28 percent are under age 25)." Additionally, FORTUNE listed Whole Foods Market No. 1 for job growth for adding 8,570 new employees in the last year.

Whole Foods Market ranks No. 11 out of the 39 large companies on the "best companies" list. The natural and organic grocer is one of 15 companies that pay 100 percent of its Team Members' health-care premiums and is one of the 20 employers on the list with at least 350 job openings at a time when many big companies are announcing mass layoffs. Additionally, the Company was ranked the 15th most diverse and was one of only four grocery stores on the overall list.

Whole Foods Market believes these unique factors and other Company perks are part of the reason it made the FORTUNE list again this year. Bene
