Natural Grocers Expands Colorado Footprint
Natural Grocers, the largest family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer in the United States, will open its 44th Colorado location in Denver on Sat., Jan. 7.
"We've been looking for the perfect spot to open a store in the Central Park area of Denver for over 10 years,” said Raquel Isely, vice president of Marketing for Natural Grocers. “As one of our Five Founding Principles states, we are 'committed to our communities', and we love that we are now able to bring access to healthy food at an Always Affordable Price to even more people in our home state of Colorado."
Shoppers will have access to fresh, 100% USDA certified organic produce, high-quality organic and natural groceries, 100% free-range eggs, 100% pasture-based dairy, 100% non-GMO pre-packaged bulk goods, dietary supplements, body care, and household essentials at an Always Affordable Price. Natural Grocers also prioritizes humanely sourced and sustainably raised meats.
In the coming months, the Central Park location is expected to include The Cottage Craft Beer section—Natural Grocers' select offerings of curated craft beer, hard kombucha, and hard seltzer, all vetted to meet the same high-quality standards that Natural Grocers is known for. Customers will be able to enjoy a one-stop shopping trip and pick up their favorite adult beverage or try something new from a wide range of organic, gluten-free options.
The company, ever-conscious of its environmental impact, has constructed the new space with sustainable building features and energy-saving innovations, such as non-toxic building materials and 100% LED lighting, for a lighter environmental footprint. The Central Park store is Natural Grocers' second CO store featuring a new CO2 refrigerant system, designed to save energy and provide enhanced environmental protection compared to conventional refrigeration technologies. Though more expensive and complex to install than traditional systems, it's just one more way the company prioritizes the health of its communities and the planet.
