LAKEWOOD, Colo., May 23, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- "Inflation" is a word at the forefront of many
conversations right now—for good reason. From gas stations to
department stores, consumers are feeling the pressure of rising
prices. Customers at Natural Grocers®, the nation's largest
family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer, can shop with
confidence knowing they can still get high-quality organic and
natural products at Always AffordableSM prices.
Despite record inflation, Natural Grocers
adheres to 'Always Affordable Pricing'— a founding principle since
1955.
ALWAYS AFFORDABLE PRICES: A FOUNDING PRINCIPLE
"Our parents founded Natural Grocers in 1955 with the belief
that everyone should have access to affordable healthy natural and
organic foods, nutrition education and live in a thriving,
regenerative environment. This includes the food we all put on
our tables. 'Always Affordable Pricing' is one of our Five
Founding Principles to which we have stayed committed for over 67
years. We work hard to generate long term relationships with
vendors and farmers to secure the best possible pricing on
wholesome natural foods and supplements. These types of
partnerships have historically helped us to maintain premium
quality and offer accessibly priced nutritious foods and vitamins,
even when families have been impacted by inflation," said
Heather Isely, Natural Grocers'
Executive Vice President.
The Company's Commitment to Quality, another founding
principle, is evidenced in its high product standards and
continuous improvement of these standards. For example, Natural
Grocers, which sold only cage-free eggs since its founding,
enhanced its product standards in 2016 to sell only free-range
eggs. Likewise, in 2014 the Company adopted advanced product
standards designed to remove all confinement dairy products from
its stores and sells only 100% pasture-based dairy products.
Natural Grocers makes every effort to base its product standards
on relevant scientific evidence to best support the sustainability
and health of the food system, the environment, Crew members, and
its communities, and is committed to continuing to drive higher
product standards within the industry. The Company prides itself on
its transparent approach to product selection and encourages
dialogue with customers, investors and industry peers. "Going into
our 67th year, we hope to inspire other companies around
the world to follow our lead and to realize that it is
possible to offer high-quality organic and natural products at
'always affordable prices'," said Ms. Isely.
