The next chapter in the Balducci's saga takes place overseas. The gourmet grocer that built a following for its 10 stores along the East Coast plans to open its first international location in Dubai at the end of next month. The store is being built in partnership with developer Nakheel Retail in the Mall of Dubai, and the company hopes it will be the first of several locations in the bustling, wealthy region. Gee, Penn Quarter -- where Balducci's had an on-again / off-again relationship with a site -- just doesn't have the same ring to it. Looks like residents will need a passport to get their Bilinski all-natural chicken sausages. Still, Balducci's name is woven into the fabric of Washington, not least because local businessman Mark Ordan , with financial backing from Bear Stearns Merchant Bank, took over Balducci's in 2003. (Yes, he's the same guy who founded Fresh Fields then sold it to Whole Foods .) Ordan left Balducci's in 2006 to become chief operating officer of The Mills Corp ., a shopping mall developer in Chevy Chase. Last month, he was named CEO of McLean-based Sunrise Senior Living . ...

The economic slowdown is wilting demand for arugula. Whole Foods ( WFMI ) tumbled in late trading Tuesday after the organic grocer posted weaker-than-expected fiscal third-quarter results , guided lower for the fourth quarter, pulled back on store openings and suspended its dividend. “Our business model has been highly successful, and we remain very bullish on our growth prospects as the market for natural and organic products continues to grow and as our company continues to evolve,” said CEO John Mackey. “However, the challenging economic environment appears to be negatively impacting our sales.” That’s something of an understatement. The company, which earlier this year guided to comparable sales growth in the high-single digits , said same-store sales rose just 2.6% in the latest quarter. That’s not all: Whole Foods now expects comparable store sales growth of 1% to 5% for 2009, and a profit next year of $1.21 to $1.27 a share, excluding certain costs. Analysts were looking for $1.52 a share. In spite of all the cutbacks - Whole Foods cut its 2008 store-opening plan to 15 from as many as 21 three months ago, and said it would halve capital spending not related to new store openings - the board doubled Whole Foods’ authorization to buy back its shares, to $200 million. After rising 7% in Tuesday’s marketwide rally, shares of Whole Foods tumbled 10% in postclose trading to $20.52, putting them within a dollar of their 52-week low ...

Talk about revival. This winter, Raley's heir Michael Teel plans to launch a gourmet grocery chain and the second act of his grocery career in the skeletons of two Sacramento food landmarks. Michael Teel, left, chairman of Good Eats markets, and Michael Ashker, president and CEO, look over plans at the former Andiamo building, where the first store will open. Michael Teel and Michael Ashker walk through the interior of the former Andiamo restaurant building. "We want to reinvent the neighborhood market," Teel says. A rendering of the Good Eats bistro market interior at 3145 Folsom Blvd., the site of the former Andiamo building, also shows inset drawings of sections planned within the store. Renovations are expected to make the building ready for opening by the start of the new year, with a second Good Eats scheduled to open at the former Corti Brothers site a few months later.

Bigger-than-expected losses at mortgage lender Freddie Mac, which caused it to cut dividends, as well as lower profit at Time Warner dampened mood on Wall Street. Meanwhile, oil held above $119 ahead of inventory report later today, but crude futures were slightly higher. Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE ), the second-largest U.S. mortgage-finance company, posted a larger fourth-quarter loss of $821 million, or $1.63 a share, than analysts estimated as delinquencies rose and cut its dividend to shore up capital. The common-share dividend will be reduced to 5 cents from 25 cents. Bloomberg writes that CEO Syron is "seeking to bolster capital and restore confidence after U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was forced to step in with a rescue plan for Freddie and the larger Fannie Mae." So, first, I doubt investors have much confidence in Syron after reports surfaced he ignored warnings. Second, is Wall Street really surprised the mortgage buyer disappointed? That its credit-related expenses doubled from the previous quarter? Haven't we been there before? FRE shares are down 8.7% in premarket trading at last check. Meanwhile, Time Warn ...
