Portland, Oregon-based New Seasons Market was recognized as the ninth “Most Admired Company” in the state by the Portland Business Journal, selected by 271 state’s top executives.
Joining New Seasons Market – and more than 100 honorees – on the list are organizations like Columbia Sportswear Co., Intel and Nike, as well as the grocer’s peers in the food and beverage industry, including Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods, Dutch Bros Coffee, Salt & Straw and Tillamook Country Creamery Association.
More than 4,500 Oregon-based organizations were nominated.
“I’m very humbled by – and grateful to – the Portland Business Journal and the broader business community,” said Nancy Lebold, CEO.
“To be named among notable local, national, and international Oregon-based brands is truly incredible. This recognition is 100 percent attributable to our staff, who provide exceptional customer service while never ceasing to share their generosity with our New Seasons community.”
This is the 11th time New Seasons Market has been named to the “Most Admired Companies” list in the last 14 years. Earlier this year, Forbes named New Seasons Market the number one Oregon-based employer and retailer. It also recently received the AmeriStar Award for its fresh pasta packaging, created for its Partner Brand private label to reduce single-use packaging.
As an employer, New Seasons Market offers industry-leading compensation and a comprehensive benefits plan that includes medical, dental/orthodontia, vision, 401(k) matching, paid parental leave, paid volunteer time, paid vacation and adoption assistance. And, as the first grocer to achieve B Corp certification, New Seasons Market aims to exceed social and environmental performance standards, accountability and transparency.
Founded in 2000 by three families and 50 friends, New Seasons Market is a friendly neighborhood grocery store with about 2,700 employees across 19 stores in Oregon and Washington, serving a mix of locally sourced and organic items, classic grocery favorites, chef-made grab and go meal solutions. New Seasons Market is proud of its progressive values – from offering industry-leading compensation and benefits to committing 10 percent of its after-tax profits to the communities it serves.
