"The values Portlanders embrace
around fresh, local food; resource
conservation; and community in
volvement are perfectly aligned with
the business model we’ve had in
place since my parents founded the
company nearly 60 years ago,” said
Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers co
president.
Beyond a place to buy healthy
food, the new store brings many ad
ditional benefits to the community,
including; an on-site credentialed
nutritional health coach, provided at
no charge, to answer questions, help
with meal planning and provide one-
on-one nutrition counseling, along
with other free nutrition education
options like cooking classes and dem-
onstrations, and lectures on topics of
interest to the community.
“We work hard to make healthy
options affordable so that custom
ers feel empowered in our stores,”
Isely added. “We are deeply com
mitted to our neighbors and we look
forward to being part of the Portland
community for years to come.”
Preliminary design work will start
in early September. In addition to
Natural Grocers, the development,
when complete, will include com
mercial and retail space to house
between four and 10 businesses.
A community benefits agreement
and elements of the project design
will be developed by a project work
ing group. The group will include
representatives from nearby neigh-
borhood, business and community
associations and will be formed in
the next few weeks. Their work will
inform the overall project design
and development.
Colas Construction of Portland
was selected in January as project
general contractor. “I grew up and
now reside in north Portland and I
am honored to have Colas Con
struction lead a project that will
deliver real jobs, real amenities and
real opportunities for neighborhood
residents,” said Andrew Colas,
president of Colas Construction. “I
want to thank Majestic Realty for
the commitment to us, to this neigh
borhood and to this project. I am so
excited to break ground.”
Work on the project is expected
to begin in late fall.
