It’s been over a year since it was announced that a Natural Grocers was going to move into the iconic Gold Dome at N.W. 23 and Classen, but, like everything ever associated and announced with that structure, nothing has come to fruition. And, based on this news report, it probably never will.
And really, it’s probably for the best; in this area of town, do we really need something as useless as a Natural Grocers? These stores—consisting of basically one small produce department and then 25 aisles of vitamins and supplements—realistically offer nothing to the community-at-large, especially the everyday ham-and-eggers, the blessed low incomers and the spectacularly growing minority factions.
