THANKSGIVING WITH NATURAL GROCERS

Co-founder Margaret Isely shared her time, joy, and kindness with everyone around her—especially during the holidays. Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing at Natural Grocers and Margaret Isely's granddaughter reflects, "For my grandmother, gathering with loved ones around a table filled with delicious food was more than just a holiday tradition. It was a time to share cherished memories, create new ones, and celebrate togetherness through the joy of food. I now realize it's also a moment to express gratitude, both big and small, for the people and moments we treasure. At Natural Grocers, this spirit of gratitude is woven into everything we do—including our deep appreciation for our customers and our good4u^SM Crew. Stop by your local Natural Grocers and let us help make your Thanksgiving a season filled with gratitude, great food, and joyful memories."

MARY'S FREE-RANGE^® TURKEY & NATURAL GROCERS
