Hillsborough County will hold a public meeting to discuss proposed improvements to the road medians on Northdale Boulevard from Dale Mabry Highway to Premiere Drive in northern Hillsborough County. The proposed improvements would provide safe access to the Whole Foods Market that is currently being constructed at the former call center site along the road, as well as improve safe turning along Northdale Boulevard. The median at Altimira Drive is proposed to be modified to eliminate northbound left turns from Altimira Drive onto Northdale Boulevard. A westbound left turn into the Whole Foods Store also is proposed to be added through the median modifications. Construction of these improvements is planned to begin during the summer of 2012 …

The owner of the independent health food store says a Whole Foods nearby won't change how she does business.
When Whole Foods Market announced in July the opening of a new store in Northdale, Abby Sayler, the owner of independent health food store Abby’s Health and Nutrition, was unfazed. Health food megastore Whole Foods has talked about opening a location nearby for years, Sayler said, so the news was unsurprising. Abby’s has established a presence on North Dale Mabry with the Carrollwood community, carrying vitamins, supplements and organic and natural produce.
