Natural Grocers, the country’s largest family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer, opens its Springfield, Missouri store on Sept. 29, its seventh location in the Show Me State.
Located at 3333 S. Glenstone Ave., the grand opening celebration features in-store discounts and a prize contest which includes an E-bike, gift cards and small kitchen appliances.
Earlier this year, Jefferson City, Missouri, also welcomed Natural Grocers to its community, and in October the company is celebrating the recent relocation of its Columbia, Missouri, store, which originally opened in September 2011, to a space that will serve the community even better than the original.
Serving customers with a wide range of natural and organic options since 1955, Natural Grocers offers the Springfield community a grocery shopping experience which includes its strict product standards, “world-class” customer service, healthy recipes for all diets and sustainable building practices.
The company offers customers a free nutrition education program and partners with Missouri’s local food bank, Ozark Food Harvest. The new store includes a contemporary layout, the Cottage Wine and Craft Beer shop, a more efficient checkout experience and a Nutrition Education Center.
