They had already been sighted at the nearby Tex-Mex restaurant Merry Piglets.
The couple pulled into the grocery store parking lot shortly after leaving the restaurant, as per the Whole Foods in Jackson video that Fox News Digital was able to obtain.
They stayed in the car for about a minute before stepping out. The couple ended up staying in Whole Foods for about 15 minutes. Inside the shop, Laundrie wore a hat and sunglasses and had his hands tucked into his pants pockets, while Petito had her arms crossed in front of her chest.
There is no audio in the video. However, Petito was spotted grabbing a packet of cheese she had been carrying around in her tote bag during the 15 minutes she spent in the store.
They entered through one doorway, and they exited through another.
The duo spent around 20 minutes in their car before leaving the parking area and driving down the road to the campsite in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, where Petito's remains were finally discovered.
Her death was ruled a homicide, and the coroner determined that she was choked manually.

Petito's parents claimed in a lawsuit that Laundrie killed their daughter on August 27, the same day they were spotted at the Wyoming Whole Foods.
Investigators have tried to retrace Petito and Laundrie's steps since she disappeared last year. "The attempt to locate was the first thing we'd ever heard about Gabby Petito," Jackson Police Lt Russ Ruschill said.
Laundry declined to speak with investigators in the early stages of the case. Later on, he also disappeared. On October 20 of the previous year, detectives found his skeletal remains.
In his handwriting, Laundrie confessed to killing Petito in a notebook that was recovered in a bag close to the remains.
"I ended her life," the note read.
"I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked. I was in shock."
He tried to frame the killing as a merciful death. Another line from the same notebook read, "From the moment I decided, took away her pain, I knew I couldn't go on without her."
