NATURAL GROCERS THEN AND NOW
"Seventy-one years ago, my grandparents, Margaret and Philip Isely, started Natural Grocers with a simple belief—that everyone deserves access to affordable, high-quality food and nutrition education," said Raquel Isely, vice president of marketing for Natural Grocers. "While so much has changed since 1955, our purpose remains the same. This celebration is our way of thanking the customers, Crew members and communities who have supported us throughout the years and continue to make our story possible. Whether you're stopping by for the savings, the giveaways, the free BBQ or simply to celebrate with us, we're excited to share this milestone with the people who have been part of our journey."
Today, Natural Grocers operates 174 stores in 22 states. To celebrate the milestone, customers can learn more about the company's history, values and growth by exploring "71 Things You Didn't Know About Natural Grocers."
