New grocer coming to Spokane

Natural Grocers is planning to open a store at the corner of North Division Street and Wellesley Avenue.

The Colorado-based retailer of natural and organic products is slated to bring about 25 new jobs to the area. It will be the second Natural Grocers in Washington state. The company also has a location in Vancouver.

There’s no date set yet for the opening of the new Spokane store. “But I can tell you it will not be this year,” spokesman Jeremy Jones said.

Founded in 1955, Natural Grocers has 100 stores in 17 states and employs more than 2,200 people. The Coeur d’Alene store opened in March 2014 at 222 W. Neider Ave.
