Whole Foods Open in Downtown Sunnyvale, AMC Theater Opens Briefly

POSTED: 05:00 PM, November 18, 2020
A quick reversal of fortune for the brand-new AMC Theater in Downtown Sunnyvale. Just weeks after it opened, COVID-19 restrictions have forced it to close again. Santa Clara County moved back into California’s Purple Tier because of rising COVID-19 cases and that means theaters, including the AMC must close.
The theater opened on Oct. 30 to 25 percent capacity under the state’s Orange Tier guidelines. It did not serve food or beverages, but was showing movies. Now, the reopening is on hold indefinitely.
“The AMC team has been incredibly resilient; the local team has been incredibly resilient. They’ve been working really hard. AMC has specific COVID protocols, obviously, they’re following the shelter in place requirements by the county, but they themselves have incredible cleaning requirements and things,” said Josh Rupert of Hunter Storm Properties, one of two developers involved in the Downtown Sunnyvale redevelopment.
The AMC Theater is expected to be one of the anchor stores in the new Downtown Sunnyvale. Whole Foods Market on the corner of McKinley and Murphy Avenues is another. That opened on Oct. 29 and will be allowed to stay open because it is considered an essential service.
The Whole Foods was also impacted by COVID-19. The March stay at home order delayed its grand opening by more than six months.
“It was merely weeks before the shelter in place that we were preparing and then we were ready to open and then nearly a week after the shelter in place was issued,” said Rupert.
Even though it was delayed, the opening of Whole Foods marks another milestone in the new vision of what Downtown Sunnyvale will soon become.
“Rather than being just another grocery anchored center along El Camino, we feel like having a Whole Foods and an AMC for that matter, kicks off our center in a way that really differentiates us from El Camino and brings that shopper into Downtown Sunnyvale,” said Curtis Leigh of Hunter Storm Properties. “[It] really creates the downtown that we’re trying to give to Sunnyvale that they’ve never really had.”
Other stores will open soon. Xfinity and AT&T are both slated to open in December. Salon Republic was supposed to open before the end of the year, but the county’s return to the Purple Tier may delay the opening.
Developers are also starting the final phase of the project.
“We’re working diligently with city staff and ultimately, the Planning Commission to get the specific projects approved,” said Rupert. “We’re hoping that in January or February [2021], that we’ll start the demolition of the Macy’s building, which is really the precursor to beginning the next phase of Downtown Sunnyvale.”
Whole Foods is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. It opens an hour early on Fridays for guests 60-plus, at risk or with disabilities.
New $5.6 million cinema in Wine Country set to open in October

Wine Country’s newest movie theater finally has an opening date.
The nonprofit True West Film Center announced that its Cinemas at True West in Healdsburg will open Friday, Oct. 17, on the organization’s James Redford Campus. Its first showings will be of Kathryn Bigelow’s action thriller “A House of Dynamite” and Luca Guadagnino’s sexual harassment drama “After the Hunt” as its first movies.
A grand opening celebration, which includes a donor brunch and free community block party, is scheduled for Oct. 25, when Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” opens.
The 8,000-square-foot, $5.6 million facility features a three-screen cinema and educational spaces. Theaters are equipped with Christie Digital Laser Projectors and Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound.
“It’s not just a dream anymore,” Executive Director Kathryn Philip told the Chronicle. “As we’re looking at our community arts institutions and our cultural institutions, I feel like the real sticking point is whether or not the community will rally to make it so, and the community has. Movies are one of the most democratic, accessible art mediums, and to center that in the middle of a small downtown corridor is part of a hopeful world in my mind.”
Although the population of Healdsburg is listed as 11,000, True West expects to serve 45,000 patrons a year and generate $2 million in new economic activity for Sonoma County.
Former Sundance executive John Cooper is the artistic director responsible for programming a mix of current films and classic and repertory fare. Movies in the first month of operation include Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut “Eleanor the Great” and repertory screenings of Pixar’s “Coco,” Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” and Wes Craven’s “Scream.”
“The community is already supporting this,” said Cooper, who served as executive director of the Sundance Film Festival from 2010 to 2020. “We’ve been doing tours, where I talk about possible programming and hear their views. Fifty, 60 people show up at a time, and they leave very excited.”
The project architect is Tom Rael of Rael Architecture, and Eddinger Enterprises of Healdsburg led construction.
The nonprofit’s capital campaign, which continues through next year, has generated $4.75 million so far. Donors have included San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer and his wife Pam, as well as Dolby Laboratories and the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors.
Alfonso Felder, senior vice president of administration and facilities for the Giants, also donated and serves as volunteer project manager for the campus.
The True West campus, at 371 Healdsburg Ave., is named after James Redford, the son of late actor-director Robert Redford, who was a documentary filmmaker. James Redford died in October 2020 bile-duct cancer of the liver at the age of 58; his father died on Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 89.
The naming of the facility reflects the organization’s alignment with the Redford Center, a nonprofit that uses storytelling to advance environmental solutions.
Tickets for opening weekend go on sale in early October at www.truewestfilmcenter.org.

New $5.6 million cinema in Wine Country set to open in October By G. Allen Johnson, Staff Writer Sep 17, 2025
