Natural Grocers will celebrate the grand opening of its new store July 31 at 873 Tahoe Blvd. in Incline Village, Nevada, the fourth store in the state.
Community members are invited to celebrate with a grand opening event including giveaways, savings, a prize wheel and samples.
Natural Grocers’ good4u Crew will kick off the festivities at 8:15 a.m. with a $2,500 donation presentation to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, its local food bank partner, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the store manager, additional community leaders and special guests.
“We are so excited to be opening our new store in Incline Village,” said Raquel Isely, VP of Natural Grocers.
“Natural Grocers has been serving communities in Nevada since 2016. We’ve received countless requests from folks to open a store in this area for years. The Incline Village and Crystal Bay areas offer residents, outdoor enthusiasts and tourists an amazing array of recreational activities. It’s a natural draw to those seeking mountain living, mountain playing or a tranquil getaway. We believe our store in Nevada will be a friendly, natural fit for the community.”
Among the grand opening events are mystery gift cards for the first 150 customers in line, free Natural Grocers hand-crafted poncho for the first 250 shoppers and a prize wheel.
From July 31-Aug. 31, products from every department will be available at grand-opening discounts. From July 31-Aug. 14, a grand-opening sweepstakes will be offered, giving customers a chance to win prizes such as an Aventon e-bike and a $500 Natural Grocers gift card.
Customers also can join Natural Grocers’ free reward program, {N}power, which offers exclusive discounts, digital coupons, rewards benefits and other members-only features.
Conscious of its environmental impact, Natural Grocers built this store from the ground up using sustainable building features and energy-saving innovations, such as non-toxic building materials and 100 percent LED lighting. The store will feature a contemporary layout for an efficient, yet friendly checkout experience.
Later this summer, local artist Sara Smith will also be enhancing the outside of the new store with a large-scale mural and community art project.
Food Bank of Northern Nevada Partnership
Natural Grocers will partner with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada for its “Bring Your Own Bag Program” to serve people in the Incline Village area who are facing hunger. Each time a customer brings their own shopping bag, Natural Grocers will donate five cents per shopping trip to the organization.
The nonprofit provides food for families in need through more than 155 partner agencies across northern Nevada and the eastern slope of the Sierra in California and direct service programs. It serves more than 153,000 people every month, almost half of whom are children and seniors.
“We are excited about the expansion of our partnership with Natural Grocers as they open their Incline Village store,” said Nicole Lamboley, president and CEO of the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.
“Long term partnerships are critical in helping serve community members facing food insecurity. Natural Grocers has contributed more than 118,400 meals through donations raised from the ‘Bring Your Own Bag Program’ and food donations to local food bank partners.”
