Natural Grocers is continuing its strategic expansion in Oregon with the planned opening of a new store in McMinnville this summer. Located at 448 OR 99W, the new store will be the company’s 15th location in the state and its first in the Willamette Valley. This milestone reflects Natural Grocers’ ongoing commitment to growing in communities that value high quality, responsibly sourced food and strong local connections.
In preparation for the opening, the company is taking proactive steps to build its local team and engage with the McMinnville community. A virtual hiring fair will take place on April 8th, offering competitive wages for crew members as well as leadership opportunities. Natural Grocers will also host a community meet and greet on April 15th, providing an opportunity to share the company’s values, service philosophy, and Five Founding Principles with local residents and prospective customers.
Founded in 1955, Natural Grocers has grown into a trusted national retailer with more than 160 stores across 21 states. The company remains dedicated to its uncompromising product standards, including USDA certified organic produce and responsibly sourced dairy and egg products. The McMinnville opening underscores Natural Grocers’ mission to support employee growth, strengthen community relationships, and expand access to affordable natural and organic groceries throughout the Pacific Northwest.
