LAKEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers, the nation's largest family-operated natural and organic grocery, announces plans to expand and remodel one of its Dallas, TX stores. Located at 11661 Preston Road, the Preston & Forest market, which has served Dallas' communities for over a decade, will temporarily close on January 30, 2021. The reopening will debut a bigger, better, and more modern shopping experience, and is scheduled for mid-March.

What Does This Mean for Customers?

In order to prepare for the quickest renovation possible, Natural Grocers will host a special "everything must go" sale in advance of closing the store. Starting January 16, 2021 through January 30, 2021, the entire supplement and body care departments will be 35% off, and the rest of the store will be 25% off the usual Always Affordable Prices^SM. 

Customers who typically shop at the Preston &Forest location will still enjoy easy access to all Natural Grocers has to offer by visiting the retailer's additional Dallas area stores in Richardson, Casa Linda, and Coppell, all within 9 to 16 miles of Preston & Forest. As a "thank you" to loyal shoppers, starting on January 16, 2021, Natural Grocers will hand out special deal coupon books¹ to Preston & Forest customers. The coupon book, which can be redeemed at neighboring locations, between January 31 – March 14, 2021 offers discounts on Preston & Forest customer favorites such as Waterloo Sparkling Water 12-packs, Siete Tortilla Chips, and Natural Grocers Brand Olive Oil, as well as a coupon for $5 off a purchase of $50².

 "When the opportunity came to expand our Preston & Forest store, we knew this was the perfect time to give our customers a fresh, more modernized shopping experience, so the new store will have the same set up and flow as our newest stores," remarked Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers Co-President. "While we prefer to not close stores temporarily, doing so is the most efficient way to expand and renovate quickly. During this time, our Preston &Forest good4u^SM Crew will help with the remodel and work at other local stores. We look forward to welcoming our customers back to the store, but in the meanwhile they will receive the same high-quality groceries and knowledgeable customer service at our other locations."

What Next for Preston & Forest?

In March 2021, Preston & Forest customers will be introduced to a bigger and better shopping experience—40% larger than the original footprint—a contemporary store layout, a new Nutrition Education Center, expanded 100-percent organic produce, grab-and-go, health and body care, frozen meat sections, and a more efficiently designed, single-line queue checkout experience. Customers will continue to enjoy high-quality organic and natural groceries, supplements, body care, and household essentials at Natural Grocers' Always Affordable Prices, as well as free Nutrition Education.
