Natural Grocers will open a new store this summer at 448 OR-99 West in McMinnville, Oregon, marking the retailer’s 15th location in the state and its first in the Willamette Valley.

The company is moving forward on staffing and community outreach ahead of the opening. A virtual hiring fair is set for April 8, with time slots available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. MST.

Based on position and experience, store employees can expect to receive $18-$24 an hour. A full-time store manager can earn up to $80,000 annually and an assistant store manager up to $60,000.

Natural Grocers is also hosting a community meet-and-greet from 4-6 p.m. April 15 at the Red Lion Inn in McMinnville.

The event will introduce residents to the company’s five founding principles, its differentiators in the grocery industry and approach to customer service. A question-and-answer session will follow. Registration is available at Facebook Events.

Founded in 1955 and headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, Natural Grocers operates 169 stores in 21 states with more than 4,000 employees. The company sells only USDA-certified organic produce and exclusively pasture-raised, non-confinement dairy products and free-range eggs.
