COMPANY CULTURE & BENEFITS
Just like its dedication to its customers and community, Natural
Grocers has a history of caring for Colorado communities and employees since it
was established in 1955. Headquartered in Lakewood, CO, the
Company employs about 1,600 Natural Grocers good4u® Crew members
throughout its home state.
As part of the company's Five Founding Principles, Natural
Grocers supports all employees by offering:
- Competitive pay, including the exclusive Natural Grocers
Vitamin Bucks program, which provides their "Crew" (what Natural
Grocers calls their employees) an extra $1-per-hour worked of in-store credit.
- Birthday bonus pay: equal to one day's pay, which originated
from founder Margaret Isely's
tradition of celebrating the birthdays of all employees by
preparing lunch for them. Once the company became larger, her
children, the current executives of the company, implemented the
policy of providing each employee with a full day's pay on their
birthday to say, "thank you for choosing to work with us."
- Company-wide store discounts and credits of up to 30 percent on
all Natural Grocers' products, provide employees with substantial
savings on high-quality groceries and supplements to help them
retain more of the dollars they earn.
- Natural Grocers also offers comprehensive benefits packages to
the more than 80 percent of its full-time employees, including
medical, dental and vision insurance; flexible spending and health
savings accounts; short- and long-term disability and life
insurance; a 401K savings plan;
generous paid time off; and extensive free nutrition education
programs.

humanely raised without antibiotics, hormones or other growth
promoters, 100-percent free-range eggs, 100-percent pasture-based
