LAKEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers® today announced plans
to close one of its Tucson, AZ
stores located at the corner of Broadway Boulevard and Kolb Road
on December 11, 2024. Natural Grocers will begin store-wide
closing sales on Tuesday, December 3, with discounts of 25%
off items in the dairy, frozen, grocery and
produce departments and 10% off everything else—including
supplements, body care and beauty at the 7220 E Broadway Blvd.
location. All sales will be final.
The Tucson – Broadway and Kolb
store is one of 12 Natural Grocers locations in Arizona and one of four in the Tucson area. As part of its commitment to
serving its customers efficiently, the Company regularly evaluates
the performance and sustainability of its stores.
Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers
Co-President stated, "With the pending expiration of the lease for
this location, we made the strategic decision to close the Broadway
and Kolb store to enhance operating efficiencies and store
performance across the Tucson
market. This decision was reached after careful consideration of
the store's operational challenges impacting performance,
saturation in the Tucson area, and
capital improvements required for this location in the near future.
Based on our market analysis, we believe this decision will help us
serve the Tucson community more
effectively and efficiently in the future."
He continued, "We are grateful for the loyalty and support of
our customers in this area over the years. While this move supports
the long-term strength of our business, our priority remains on
working with our good4uSM Crew members during this
transition and continuing to serve the Tucson community through our other local
stores."
The Company is working closely with each of its valued good4u
Crew members who will be affected by this closure to identify
potential transfer opportunities or a transition package, including
severance and health benefits.
