Natural Grocers Then & Now

67 years ago, Margaret and Phillip Isely went door-to-door in Golden, Colorado educating their neighbors about nutrition and handing out samples of homemade whole grain bread. Margaret’s passion for nutritional education, natural foods, and supplements spread throughout the community, and soon they opened a store. This little house nestled within a neighborhood was filled with the smells of herbs and spices and laughter among neighbors and friends. People lined up to talk to Margaret about nutrition and connect with someone who genuinely cared.

Today, the company, which is operated by the second and third generations of the Isely family, has 163 locations in 21 states and still prides itself on being a neighborhood grocery store where nutrition education, healthy food, and planet-prioritizing practices are warmly offered.

Infused with a birthday theme to celebrate what would be co-founder Margaret Isely’s 101st birthday, the anniversary event gives customers plenty of reasons to join in the fun. In addition to the event being the biggest sale of the year, Natural Grocers is offering $128,000 in prizes and giveaways, including a Tesla Model 3, or $47,000 cash, contests, free frozen treats, collectible stickers, chocolate bars, limited-edition reusable shopping bags, and more.
