NATURAL GROCERS THEN & NOW
"As we mark our 70th Anniversary, we're proud to carry forward the vision my grandparents, Margaret and Philip Isely, began in 1955," said Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing for Natural Grocers. "My grandmother's compassion and conviction continue to shape everything we do—from the products we carry to our Five Founding Principles that we uphold. She believed deeply in nourishing the body and the planet, and in empowering people through nutrition education and access to quality food.

"Seventy years in, we're still guided by the same values that set us apart from day one. We don't follow trends—we follow purpose. And more often than not, we help set the standard.

"Our commitment to offering only products that meet our rigorous standards is not just policy, it's personal. It's our promise to our customers, our communities, and to future generations. This celebration is our way of saying thank you—to our Crew, our customers, and the countless partners who have helped us grow from 1955 to 2025 without compromising our mission."

Currently, Natural Grocers has 169 stores in 21 states. To learn more about the company, then and now, check out 70 Things You Didn't Know About Natural Grocers.
