Whole Foods is fighting back against the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council’s ongoing series of demands, which we’ve chronicled incredulously over the past several months. According to a statement: “The JPNC recently requested that Whole Foods Market create a fund for use by JP community groups, which is a request that has never been made to any other retailer joining JP …. Creating a fund for a specific community is not how we do business, nor have we ever found it necessary given our history of community involvement. Our outlook at this time has not changed, and we are now focusing 100% of our energy on opening our new store in Jamaica Plain.” Hey, we’d like a fund, too! Or at least some free sushi or something!
