Natural Grocers Opens In Logan

LOGAN, Utah, April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers by Vitamin

Cottage, Inc. (NYSE: NGVC), the natural foods chain that has changed

many customers' lives with its nutrition education, higher standards

and more affordable prices, is opening its second Utah location in

Logan today at 1075 North Main Street, suite 110 ( phone:

435-752-3200).

"We are thrilled to expand our nutrition expertise and delicious food

options to Logan," said Kemper Isely, co-president of Natural Grocers.

"We look forward to engaging with the local community about healthy

living."

Shoppers in the Logan area may wonder how a grocery store can change

people's lives. "It's because we provide the resources that people

need to live a life of optimum health and vitality even when facing

health challenges," Isely explained.

-- Our stores offer ways to help you take the best care of your own

health. Each store offers many free science-based health and nutrition

learning resources. We provide World Class customer service to help

you find just the products you need, including exceptionally high

quality natural and organic groceries, natural body care and dietary

supplements - all at affordable prices.

-- What's missing when you walk through our doors? All those bad

things you keep reading about. Natural Grocers will not sell any

grocery product that contains artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners,

preservatives, or harmful trans fats. Yet our shelves are full of

amazing food and products, including fantastic, worry-free foods for

you, your children and even for your pets. (See: "What We Won't Sell

and Why.")

-- We sell only USDA Certified Organic produce. No more guessing

whether the produce you are buying is possibly treated with pesticides

and preservatives -- or even if it has been mixed with something that

has been treated. At Natural Grocers, it's all organic -- and we work

hard to make organic affordable.

-- The meats in our stores come from animals that were raised without

the use of antibiotics, growth promoters or feed containing animal by

products.

-- Each Natural Grocers store has a credentialed Nutritional Health

Coach (NHC). We provide this service free of charge, because no one

should be excluded from receiving advice and information that can help

them live a healthier life. NHCs can answer questions on special diet

needs, help you design a personalized supplement and eating program,

or point you toward the products that support your health and fitness

goals. You can even sign up for individual coaching sessions or attend

a nutrition class or cooking demonstration in our teaching kitchen.

-- Throughout the store, our knowledgeable staff welcomes your

questions about special diets like gluten-free, Paleo,

vegetarian/vegan, and low-glycemic, or about specific supplements or

products. If you read it on the Internet or saw it on TV, come talk to

us first for help understanding the science behind the hype.

-- We support local products and local farmers when we open a store.

Shoppers can look for more than 2,350 products from over 30 Utah

companies. We are always looking for opportunities to bring in meat,

produce and dairy from Utah producers. Check our website for new

product approval guidelines.

-- Logan shoppers can come in to get yummy cooking demos, hear

speakers or attend seminars to enhance the depth of your nutrition

knowledge (schedule:

http://www.naturalgrocers.com/store-locations/logan/UT/events.)

-- We don't offer plastic or paper shopping bags at our registers, but

if you forget your reusable totes, we'll gladly pack your groceries in

free recycled boxes. We do sell inexpensive reusable shopping bags,

AND each time you shop with your own reusable totes, we will make a

donation to the local food bank.

-- Tuesday, April 15 th is Grand Opening Day! Grand Opening Week runs

April 19th thru April 26th. Please join us for: Many delicious food

tastings Knowledgeable representatives from supplement manufacturers

Body care samples Grand Prizes are as follows: (Drawing will be May

30th. Need not be present to win.) iPad compliments of Natural

Of special note, Natural Grocers will soon be unveiling some of the

strictest dairy ingredient standards in the industry. Our goal is to

keep GMO feed, veterinary drug residues and inhumane treatment out of

the milk production system that provides dairy products for our

customers. "We hope to spark a conversation with our communities and

the nation about how our food is raised, and how it impacts so many

other parameters that we sometimes forget to consider: food quality,

health, sustainability, community well-being, and animal welfare,"

said Isely.

The Logan Natural Grocers will be open Monday through Saturday from

8:56 a.m. to 8:04 pm. On Sunday the store will be open from 9:56 a.m.

to 7:06 p.m. Customers are welcome to come a little early or to stay

and shop a little late.

About Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers by Vitamin

Cottage (NGVC): Founded in Colorado by Margaret & Philip Isely in

1955, Natural Grocers was built on the premise that consumers should

have access to affordable, high-quality foods and dietary supplements,

along with nutrition knowledge to help them support their own health.

The family-run store has since grown into a successful national chain

with locations across Colorado, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma,

Missouri, New Mexico, Montana, Kansas, Idaho, Nebraska, Arizona and

Oregon, and employs over 2000 people. Although the company went

public in July 2012, Isely family members continue to manage the

company day to day, building on the foundation of their parents'

business. Natural Grocers' popularity and success can be traced back

to its founding principles: dedication to providing science based

nutrition education, exceptional customer service, the highest quality

natural and organic products at affordable prices, supporting our

communities and providing great jobs with excellent benefits and a

living wage to our employees. www.naturalgrocers.com
