A lineside structure inspired Whole Foods Market?

While in Texas we swung by the Fairview Town Center shopping area in Fairview. It has a Whole Foods Market near the Murray Farm Road entrance, and as we drove by the store it struck me as being very railroad-like. It looked like a mash-up of a freight station on the right, and a stylized passenger station on the left. Or maybe it was simply that my subconscious was primed to make this association because: I'm predisposed to see things in railroad terms, and we drove over some tracks to enter the grounds :-)
And, once on the grounds, the store is located near the intersection of Southwind Ln and Fairview Station Pkwy. I suspect there's a story behind all this.
