THE NATURAL GROCERS DIFFERENCE
Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing at
Natural Grocers stated, "We were excited to be selected as a
finalist in the 'Best Supermarket' category for this year's
Readers' Choice Awards by Newsweek. The grocery retailers nominated
were quite diverse in both size and type. As a family-operated
grocery retailer dedicated to improving human health, the health of
our environment and ensuring a robust economy, we appreciated being
selected and seeing our name alongside much larger businesses.
Being voted 'Best of the Best' by Newsweek readers was an
encouraging pat on the back from our loyal customers who know us
best.
"Natural Grocers prides itself on doing things differently than
other grocery retailers and Newsweek readers noticed. From the
moment you walk into a Natural Grocers store, you'll notice a
difference. The difference is in our 100% organic produce,
our 100% pasture-based dairy, our 100% free-range eggs,
and our 100% conscientiously and humanely raised meats. The
difference is in our Natural Grocers® Brand Products -- our
family brand that is full of the highest quality ingredients at an
Affordable PriceSM. The difference is in
our ecologically thoughtful household and body care products.
You'll notice the difference in the way we empower health by
offering in-store Nutritional Health Coaches (NHCs), your
go-to nutrition professionals who can help educate, excite, and
ignite change. We are very proud to be recognized for these
differences and invite folks to come into any of our 169 stores in
21 states and witness the 'Natural Grocers' difference for
themselves."
