PLEASE COME TO WHOLE FOODS IN LONG ISLAND!!!!!
Seriously, stop playing games and come to NY.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to Toronto, ON Canada!!!
Whole Foods in White Plains will be a great place to do business (and a great place for us to buy this food). Please, Eastward Bound!!!!

Come on, stop being so intimidated by NYC.
NYC PLEASE!
You would be a smash in Austin, TX. Please hurry!
Seconded!
Chicago next!
I second that
What about the mid-west? Columbus, Ohio please!
What about Quebec, Canada ???
What a good idea in Quebec, Canada.We will like it very much, my husband, my two kids and I, as a VEGE family since a long time…
Come to Cleveland too!!
Yes, yes. Columbus, Ohio is looking forward to your arrival!
Yes! Columbus, OH
You’ve gotta make it to Austin, TX soon!!!
How about Fort Lauderdale? Ever eat @ Sublime?
Yes Florida … holy smoke — Let’s me be your representative here …
Please come to NYC; vegetarians here need your help!
We love food in NYC! And we also love our meat alternatives! I’m sure Beyond Meat would get a warm welcome here. I’m looking forward to finally trying this product, hopefully within the next year.
Asheville, NC is dying to try this!
Cleveland please!!!
CANADA!!!
Why do amazing vegan options take so long to get to the places with far fewer options available in stores and restaurants? Despite being home to three major universities, the triangle of North Carolina is not as vegan-friendly as it ought to be. We really need you here! The whole southeast needs you.
Agreed! There will FINALLY be a vegetarian/vegan restaurant opening in Raleigh (Fiction Kitchen) by the end of the year, and we need more and more options at Whole Foods. We have quite a few Whole Foods in the area, Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham… Note that we have the largest all-vegan Thanksgiving dinner in America right here in Durham, hosted by the Triangle Vegetarian Society. So, get let’s get Beyond Meat into the Triangle!
Agreed! We need you here in the Triangle!!
One step closer to Phoenix, Az. Alright!
Hear hear!
Thank you, thank you, thank you… Party Time!
How about Tucson!
+1 for Columbus, OH!
Come to the east coast! (Specifically D.C.)
I’ve heard great things and can’t wait to try them and hopefully rave about them on my blog.
DC and Maryland folks! They are available at Roots Market in Olney! I’ve been buying both the barbecue and plain there since July! Look in the refrigerator section in the back with the store-packed foods!!!
Canada, please!
Atlanta is totally ready:)
Nashville, TN — believe it! We are ready.
Yes, please come to Atlanta! Chickens in the South East need some respite and vegetarians need some choices!
Yes, Atlanta!!
Boston/Providence area please!
What’s wrong w/ the east coast? NY and DC are superb markets! You guys are missing out on all the sales over here!
They started on the East Coast: http://rootsmkt.com/
YES please! There is a proven (Roots Market) market here..but Roots Market is a small slice of the pie! Please expand to Whole Foods in the Northern Va areas!!!
NYC NYC NYC. Oh, did I mention NYC?
Come to Chicago please!
Please come to IN!!!!
Bozeman, MT!
We have TONS of vegetarians and vegans in Baltimore. Come on!!!!
Hobbs, NM please. Yes, New Mexico is in the USofA. lol This is the land of “Oil and Cattle,” we are 5 miles from West Texas. I need Beyond Meat. Someone should fly here and bring me some.
Boston needs you NOW!
Please consider Cincinnati next! Based comments fro others you can easily connebt the triple-Cs next Cleveland, Columbus andCincinnati. If you did you would provide good access to a large segment of the Midwest a Great Lakes states.
Israel !!
Another beggar for DC!!
http://rootsmkt.com/
Philly needs this!!
Atlanta! Please hurry!!!!! I can’t wait!
Wisconsin!!! Can’t wait to try it!
Atlanta is patiently waiting. I have noticed that your product is available in the prepared foods section at Whole Foods. I suspect that I speak for most people when I say that I want the “naked” product so that I can use it in my own recipes.
DC / Clarendon WF in Arlington VA. HUGE Veg population. We need you!!!
So glad you’re in LA now!
Will there be an option to buy your product on its own though, so we can cook it the way we want vs the prepared foods?
OK, I’m marooned out here in El Paso so I’ll be realistic: when will mail-order be available??
Don’t forget Windy city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Triangle area, NC!!! (Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh)! Home of the http://www.globalveganchefchallenge.com. Thanks for your good work (and food)!
I went to the Whole Foods at Bridgeport Village in Oregon specifically to purchase this product, not only to find that the product wasn’t there, but that not one of the employees knew what I was talking about. Since we don’t have a Whole Foods here in Eastern Washington, it would be nice if they would get it into some other grocery stores. At the very least sell it online so that people not living in Oregon or California can order it.
Did you check in the prepared foods (deli) case, Paul?
Any plans to expand up north soon? (i.e Canada, more precisely Montreal
)
I can’t wait to try your products!
how about global. I feel bad for NYC, at least i can drive an hour and get some. I’ve done it once and while I like it, it is to much gas to be worth it.
Midwest specifically,Chicago!!! I will help you expand in the Chicagoland area!! Just give me the green light! Ready?
Honestly, honestly, honestly!
Gainesville, FL. Grooveshark loves you.
There’s no need to reiterate the dozen+ comments hoping Beyond Meat will come to NYC, but please come to NYC!
Being a vegetrian in NJ is a lot easy as we have largest vegetrian indian community in Edison or in whole NJ. Don’t miss out the opportunity to open your product in NJ!!!
Looking forward to taste beyond meat soon….
Madison WI next !!!
We are waiting for you in Metro-Detroit, MI
why is this product that is made in Maryland not available in the east , shipping it to the west coast does not seem good for the environment. Perhaps selling it in co-ops or anywhere other than wholefoods would be a good idea.
Please bring them to these two store chains in Seattle:
Puget Sound Consumers Coop
Metropolitan Market
THANK YOU
I was recently able to try beyond meat in Ann Arbor, MI.
I really hope you sell your product here on a regular basis. Really really. Please?
Please do not be afraid to come to new england we are really a nice bunch of vegans out here. We need beyond meat too
I’m getting a little annoyed with the cutesy-poo “guess what market we’re opening up” routine. Don’t forget, someone will come out with a very similar product and they may not be as annoying. Get it into the New Haven, Ct area quick and it may be okay.
Don’t forget the Greater Philadelphia Area; including Southern New Jersey and Delaware.
Please come to Sarasota, Florida!!
Yes, and Fort Myers, FL too!!!
Don’t forget about Athens, GA!!
Roots is great, but how about MOM’s?!? It reaches your target customers and covers much more of the local region!
WFM Mid-Atlantic region!!!!!!! we’re a HUGE region– NJ, PA, OH, KY, MD, VA, and the DC-region!
Sure looking forward to having BM in Santa Fe/Albuquerque. With several Whole Foods and other specialty markets in the area and, many vegans/vegetarians, PLEASE????????????
I can’t believe you are not yet in Austin TX. This is a logical – Whole Foods was born here! We need to be your next reveal!
Please come to Ft Lauderdale! Don’t leave us all alone down here in the South!
YEAH!!! Now I don’t have to take a train up north to try it out! And by the time I decide I want to move back to Florida, hopefully you’ll had made it that way.
St. Louis, MO, please, please, please! And, THANK YOU for being part of the solution – your company is a model in today’s consumerism-based society.
Sounds like a great product, and Austin would be a great next market!
Dallas TX- Please!!!!!!!!!
So, California, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico…there’s a big gap in your distribution. Arizona! We’ve got like 5 Whole Foods in the Phoenix area alone and I’ve heard through the grape vine a new one is on the way.
Next stop Las Vegas…
YES YES YES. Totally agree!
Awww… I guess I misunderstood this. I was expecting to be able to buy a pack and take it home so I could cook with it. Prepared foods just means it’s in the deli area. I rarely buy prepared foods and prefer to cook at home so I was disappointed when my local Whole Foods only had “chicken salad” to offer. Oh well, I guess I’ll wait for the retail rollout.
Llong Island please. beyond meat is an east coast company anyway.
Why not sell it on line till you get it nation wide
Please don’t make Houston the last stop in your roll-out campaign!!!
Yes, NYC, please!! I’d love if I could find BM in Brooklyn
Our huge veg group (over 400 peeps in Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN) would LOVE if you got it up here!
Wondering why you are not in Virginia…are you not headquartered in MD?
Yes, you’ve had more than enough practice in the other regions of the country. Here’s how to conduct your next strategic planning session.
1) Get a map of NYC and put it on the floor.
2) Stand over the map and hold a water balloon over Manhattan.
3) Drop the balloon.
4) Put your product in any areas that are wet.
Marty
good one!
I say do that with a map of the country! And then the World!
It’s really quite simple. The Whole Foods in Portland Maine is one of the largest in the country. Therefore, it needs your product. See you soon!
Hi, Ethan,
I’m Karen’s friend, met you at Whole Foods, El Segundo, a couple of weekends ago. Just wanted to tell you I got news of Beyond Meat posted at “The Kinder Life”, my friend, Alicia Silverstone’s, blog about living vegan.
I have to go to Denver this weekend, help my daughter move into her new house, but I hope we can talk about your friend in Nevada next week when I get back! So happy to see your product taking off… I tell everyone it’s like chicken you can’t tell was not slaughtered! LOL. Gets a grin.
Cheers!
Rafael
What an asinine roll out this has been. These “teasers” are a waste of my time. Just release the product. Months ago I received an email welcoming Arizona to Beyond Meat…..and it’s still not here.
I am disenchanted with your product already, due to your marketing. It isn’t coy. It isn’t cool. It’s a slap in the face of patient Vegans who have been waiting for product since last year.
We are now in Whole Food stores across Arizona. Check out store listings here: http://beyondmeat.com/blog/beyond-meat-lands-in-arizona/
We love the our fans and appreciate your patience. We really are trying our hardest to get Beyond Meat to everybody!
I sure wish that you would supply stores in Ohio. I am a vegetarian and so is my sister and cousin and a bunch of our friends.
South Florida please!
Can’t find it at my Whole Foods… are you sure it’s in Oregon????
