The homegrown, Colorado grocer invites customers to enjoy Colorado-themed freebies, discounts and sweepstakes March 3-5, 2023

LAKEWOOD, Colo., March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers®, the leading family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer in the U.S., invites customers to its third annual Celebrate Colorado Event, March 3-5, at all participating Colorado stores. Headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, and employing about 1,600 Natural Grocers good4u® Crew members in its home state, Natural Grocers is proud to celebrate its Colorado roots with freebies, sales, sweepstakes and more.  

COLORADO PROUD

The Natural Grocers' story began in the Centennial State, back in 1955. Co-founders Margaret and Philip Isely went door-to-door in Golden, Colorado, with the dream of making a healthy lifestyle accessible to everyone. Natural Grocers has been serving Coloradoans with a wide variety of natural and organic options at Always Affordable^SM prices ever since. Though the company has grown to 44 stores in the state of Colorado, and 166 nationwide, Natural Grocers is based in Lakewood, Colorado, and is still operated by second and third generation members of the Isely family.

In honor of this enduring relationship, the company announces its third annual Celebrate Colorado event, starting March 3, 2023. Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing for Natural Grocers, stated, "If you've ever shopped at Natural Grocers, you know we like to celebrate holidays—even those that are unofficial or a bit out of the box. In Colorado, March 3^rd is colloquially known as '303 Day', based on Denver's area code. There's no better day to kick-off celebrating local brands and products at our Colorado stores. Come join the fun, explore our selection of high-quality, local products and experience the knowledgeable and Colorado-friendly good4u Crew customer service that we've been known for since 1955."
