(MENAFN- PR Newswire) LAKEWOOD, Colo., Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers® announces plans to close its Downtown Denver store located at the corner of Colfax and Washington, on

"We have been actively working to address the theft and safety issues impacting our store at Colfax and Washington for some time.

Kemper Isely, Co-President of Natural Grocers. "This was not an easy decision. We are grateful to our Crew members who have worked to provide world-class customer service in challenging circumstances and will partner with them to identify other opportunities at Natural Grocers. We remain committed to serving the
Downtown Denver area, including our customers in the City Park West, Capitol Hill, Baker and Cherry Creek areas, and believe that our neighboring stores will continue to provide these communities the world-class customer service, quality and affordability for which Natural Grocers is known."
