The shelves of Houston's Whole Foods Midtown location were almost completely wiped on Monday afternoon, just two days after the store began cutting prices before its permanent closure.

Word of the store's closure got out over the weekend, and Houstonians were quick to inform people of sales the grocer began posting in-store Saturday. The closure of the store at 515 Elgin St. comes almost four years after the store opened its doors to new customers.

By Monday afternoon, employees put up "70 percent off" signs for what was left in the store: some vitamins and sparkling waters, glass vases and a handful of granola bars. The "60 percent off" wine aisle was still heavily stocked with Chardonnay and Rosé.

A Whole Foods Market spokesperson told Houston Public Media Monday that the store would be closing by Oct. 13. A Whole Foods employee, however, said Monday the store could close by the end of the day, pending final sales of what was left.

It is still unclear what brought about the closure of the store, and what will be put in its place. The lone remaining grocer in Midtown is a Randalls in the 2200 block of Louisiana Street.
