Your interview stands to learn the most from how you answer this question, and the clues your verbal and nonverbal cues may offer. So take care with your choice of words and what they convey. Focus on the positives and where you hope to take your career next, and how that aligns with this opportunity.

"Well, I have felt like it was time for a change for a while now. Morale at my current store has been low for a while, and our shoppers typically aren't all that happy to be there. So, I wanted to find a job working in a store that was clean, well-maintained, and where you could see everyone taking pride in their work. For a company whose values were more in line with my own, and where I could share my enthusiasm for healthy food with shoppers who shared my values as well."

I wish I could say I'm independently wealthy and would work only for the fun of working with Whole Foods, but I need the income as well. That said, if you enjoy where you work, then you never work a day in your life. From what I know and have heard of Whole Foods, I know I would enjoy working here very much.
