Whole Foods Market said it would be holding a three-day job fair at Blaisdell Center to fill 300 positions for its new store in Kakaako.
The new, 72,000-square-foot, two-level Whole Foods Market Queen at the Ae‘o high-rise condominium at Ward Village is expected to open in May, according to a news release, selling locally sourced products in various departments, including produce, seafood, baked goods and Whole Body, which includes soaps and cosmetics. The Austin, Texas-based retailer, which has more than 450 stores across the U.S., was acquired by Amazon last year.
The job fair will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 20, 21 and 22 at Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. Interested applicants can also apply online at joinwfm.com/hawaii. Applicants are also welcome to walk in and apply.
Whole Foods Market Queen at 1001 Queen St. would be the fourth Whole Foods in Hawaii, in addition to stores at Kahala, Kailua and Kahului, Maui.
