LAKEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural
Grocers, America's Organic Headquarters®, is relocating
its Rio Rancho store just 4.6
miles up the road to its new location at 921 Pat D'Arco Hwy,
Rio Rancho, NM on Thursday, August 27, 2020.
The Rio Rancho
good4uSM Crew, who moved along with the store from the
old location, is looking forward to seeing existing customers at
the new store and welcoming new customers to the Natural Grocers
family. The new store is bigger and even better, which means that
Rio Rancho residents and existing
customers will have access to an even larger range of fresh,
100-percent organic produce, natural and organic groceries, the
highest quality dietary supplements, and everyday household
essentials, all at Always Affordable Prices —and closer to
home.
Don't worry, it is still the same store just better than ever!
The Rio Rancho store has serviced
this area for 10 years and just like it fulfilled the everyday
grocery needs of the community for the past decade, the relocation
will do the same. As always, Natural Grocers is stocked up on
fresh, pre-packaged bulk goods, only 100-percent organic fruits and
vegetables, healthy snack packs, and sports and performance
nutrition products to help fuel up for outdoor adventures in
Rio Rancho's numerous parks,
hiking trails, bike paths, and open spaces. Plus, Natural Grocers
will still be carrying a variety of your best friends' organic and
natural pet foods that meet the same standards as human products
sold in the store—the perfect treat after a playdate at
Rio Rancho's various dog
parks.
Although Natural Grocers has postponed Rio Rancho's Grand Re-opening celebration for
the safety of its customers and good4u Crew due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the store will feature Grand Re-opening specials from
August 27 through September 30. These
include discounts[1] on 100-percent organic produce,
pasture-based and humanely raised meats, and staple items, such as
bacon and bacon alternatives, free-range eggs, organic Gala and
Honeycrisp apples, organic red and green seedless grapes, and
organic red Starkrimson pears.
As the nation's largest family-operated natural and organic
grocery retailer, serving customers since 1955, Natural Grocers
carries its unique grocery shopping experience from the former
location to a new, bigger building with exciting new signage and,
of course, they bring their impeccable product standards with
them to the community of Rio
Rancho, as well as the world-class customer service,
sustainable building practices, and neighborhood outreach through
Nutrition Education and its partnership with Rio Rancho's local food bank, Roadrunner Food
Bank. As a company that's always conscious of its environmental
footprint, the store includes energy-saving innovations and
non-toxic building materials throughout.
Residents of Rio Rancho don't
need to fret as our standards have stayed the same and the
surrounding communities can count on our 100-percent organic
produce, 100-percent humanely and sustainably raised meats,
100-percent free-range eggs, and 100-percent pasture-based dairy at
their relocated Natural Grocers store. As Always, the prepackaged
bulk selections are 100-percent non-GMO with many organic options
and the company's grocery product standards prohibit hydrogenated
oils and artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives.
Natural Grocers' Always Affordable pricing and special discounts
through {N}power®, its free rewards program, ensure that the
highest quality groceries are accessible for everyone.
The Rio Rancho store will have
the same Nutritional Health Coach (good4u NHCSM),
Colleen, at the relocated store on staff whose services are free of
charge to the community. If you have yet to meet her, she is
excited to work with new customers and welcome them to the Natural
Grocers family, as well as continue her relationship with existing
customers—virtually for now. Natural Grocers' highly educated NHCs
support customers' health and wellness journeys with free,
one-on-one health coaching sessions, which are currently
available via phone and video. The NHC will also host in-store
nutrition classes and cooking demonstrations once gatherings are
deemed safe again.
Residents of Rio Rancho and its
surrounding communities can enjoy a clean and safe-as-possible
shopping and working environment at the Rio Rancho location, due to the
COVID-19-related policies and guidelines in place at all
Natural Grocers stores. The new store will open with modified store
hours as follows: Monday – Saturday: 8:00
a.m. to 8:05 p.m.; and Sunday: 9:00
a.m. to 7:35 p.m. Additionally, there will be two weekly
shopping hours exclusively for seniors (ages 60 and older),
pregnant women, and individuals with underlying medical conditions:
Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
and Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00
a.m.
"With our own vision to bring communities the best quality food
at Always Affordable Prices, and leading the way as your 100%
Organic Headquarters, we were drawn to Rio Rancho's vision of leading the way as the
best city in the Southwest," said Kemper
Isely, Natural Grocers Co-President. "We are thrilled that
the relocation of one of our five New
Mexico markets allows us to offer our services including
healthy food options, free Nutrition Education, the highest
standards in the industry and our inclusive culture to Rio Rancho's community."
