Vertically integrated real estate company Hankin Group has revealed that Kimberton Whole Foods, an independent, family-owned and -operated grocery store, will open its largest Chester County, Pa., location at Eagleview Town Center in the spring of 2026.

Kimberton Whole Foods at Eagleview will offer a broad array of fresh organic produce, grass-fed meats and dairy, specialty cheeses, natural and organic grocery staples, baked goods, supplements, body care, and more. Customers will also be able to choose from a full menu of grab-and-go meals, including wraps, sandwiches, salads, soups, grain bowls, sushi, heat-and-eat dinner entrées and raw foods. The store will offer online shopping and curbside pickup.
“Located conveniently near I-76 and Route 100, Kimberton Whole Foods at Eagleview is set to become the top natural grocery destination for residents of Eagleview, Chester Springs and surrounding areas,” said Sam Sherrill, commercial leasing manager at Exton, Pa.-based Hankin Group. “Kimberton Whole Foods is a tremendous addition to the vibrant mixed-use Eagleview community, providing residents, commercial tenants and guests with a premier sustainable, walkable grocery option.”
