The Brookline TAB is reporting that Whole Foods Market plans to open April 15 in Brookline, with the grocery store moving into the space on Beacon Street where a location of Johnnie's Foodmaster had been. (The Johnnie's chain closed down last November.) This will be the first of several Whole Foods to take over former locations of Johnnie's, with more planned for Arlington, Charlestown, Melrose, Somerville (Beacon Street), and South Weymouth over the coming months.
