Check out the cars!
Throughout the months of November, December and January, specially-wrapped "Big Game! Big Win! Promotion" cars with exciting graphics featuring John Elway will be on a virtual "Tour de Denver" so everyone has a chance to see some of the highest-quality cars on the road today and to dream about finding themselves behind the wheel of a 2017 Cadillac ATS, Jeep Renegade or Chevy Volt. The schedule of locations where the cars can be seen will be posted each week on Natural Grocers' Facebook and John Elway Dealerships' Facebook pages.

"Our companies share many of the same core values, principles and business practices," said Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers' Co-President. "We both believe in providing customers with the highest-quality products at affordable prices, world-class customer service and an unwavering commitment to our communities and employees."

The partnership was formed with an initial discussion around values, not profits. It was important to both businesses that the partnership be authentic and local and would surprise and delight Natural Grocers and John Elway Dealership customers and communities. It was a match made in retail promotion heaven. 

"We believe in giving back to the communities that help make us a success," said Todd Maul, Dealer Principal and Partner of John Elway Dealerships. "Natural Grocers has been a long-time supporter and provider to the Denver community, and their principles hold true to everything we – as Coloradans – value."

Joint advertising support for the campaign features John Elway and includes: radio ads with members of the Isely family, billboards, bus kings, newspaper ads, social, digital and search ads and in-store/in-dealership signage, flyers and 6-foot, life-size promotional displays cut outs where customers can take selfies with John's image.

Family-run Natural Grocers was built on the premise that consumers should have access to affordable, high-quality foods and dietary supplements, along with nutrition knowledge to help support their own health.
