Customers will be able to pick up their favourite products with a 10 per cent discount off everything.
Natural Grocers said the decision to close the store was made after careful consideration of the operating challenges, including retail theft and safety issues impacting the store’s performance.
Kemper Isely, Co-President of Natural Grocers, said: “We have been actively working to address the theft and safety issues impacting our store at Colfax and Washington for some time.
“Despite our investment in security and loss prevention strategies over the years, these factors have continued to challenge our ability to operate our store safely and sustainably.
“We have made the difficult decision to close our doors at this location.”
She added: “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.
“We 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.”
The company is working closely with each of its valued good4u Crew members who will be affected by this closure to identify transfer opportunities to other stores.
