LAKEWOOD, Colo., July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of its 66^th anniversary and what would be co-founder Margaret Isely's 100^th birthday, Natural Grocers^® invites the communities it serves to a three-day celebration from Thursday, August 12 through Saturday, August 14, 2021. The nation's largest family-operated natural and organic grocery retailer has a lot to celebrate this year: 66 years of nutritional empowerment, free Nutrition Education, its good4u℠ Crew and its communities, the recently established non-profit organization, the Natural Grocers Heroes in Aprons Fund, and much more.

Natural Grocers honors its 66th Anniversary with 3 days of deep discounts, giveaways, freebies and more, August 12-14

Natural Grocers was founded on a dream to make a healthy and balanced lifestyle accessible and affordable for everyone. In 1955, co-founders Margaret and Philip Isely set out on that mission, going door to door with just $200, lending out nutrition books, and samples of whole grain bread. Today, the company, which is operated by the second and third generations of the Isely family, boasts 161 stores in 20 states, providing their communities with high-quality natural and organic groceries, supplements, household essentials, body care, and fresh 100% organic produce, along with free Nutrition Education.
