DENVER — The Natural Grocers store in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood is set to close at the end of the month.
Natural Grocers, headquartered in Lakewood, has 169 stores in 21 states. On Wednesday, the company announced that the Denver store located at 1433 Washington St. will close on Oct. 31.
The company said operational challenges like retail theft and safety issues are impacting the store’s performance.
“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, and we have made the difficult decision to close our doors at this location,” co-president Kemper Isely said.
Starting on Friday, Oct. 4, store-wide closing sales will begin with discounts of 10% off of everything

Is Ward Churchill still a thing? Hager heard anything about that phony in years
Another food desert.
Hanger = haven’t. !$&@ autocorrect
Ward Churchill was dismissed from the University of Colorado in 2007, having been convicted of plagiarism as well as fabrication and falsification of evidence ... It was Churchill’s essay of September 12, 2001, that drew attention to him— an essay that called victims of the attack on the World Trade Center “little Eichmanns.”

Well....... If they were to reconsider their decision, I have a practically full-proof method to counteract the thievery - just hire the “mostly peaceful” Venezuelans as guards. They would probably only require the same percentage as The Big Guy - 10%.
C’mon, Man!
I used to mock their totally chirpy derpy cheesy TV spots, but this bad news really underscores how far we’ve fallen, as they are truly the mom and pop success story. No more. Such go the way of the rest of us. Better prep up!
do a complete online order/payment and outside pickup only

IOW, criminal activity.
I lived not very far from there in the late 70’s. The Denver area was a great place to live back then.

Very true. Reagan demonstrated numerous times on how to deal effectively with these idiots.
Colorado has not had an honest election since mail-in ballots and same day registration was instituted... plus Dominion ballot machines..
See number 15.

A little known secret was that local gubmints would “insure” stores in high crime areas to cover the store’s loses. I guess that it’s so bad now the gubmints can’t hide it anymore.
Capitol Hill in Denver was turning into “Trash Hill” when I drove through it in the summer of 2023.

Hmmmmm.......
I have a friend who grew up in the Cherry Hill area of town, she’s my age (early 70’s). She still has family in the Denver area. She tells me that it breaks her heart every time she goes home seeing what it’s turned into.
