Founded in 1955, Natural Grocers started by selling whole-grain bread door-to-door and offering nutritional information. Growing popularity spurs Natural Grocers as a rapidly expanding grocery retailer. Founded in 1955 by Margaret and Philip Isely, stores continue operation as a family business with the children of the couple acting as owners and proprietors.
Whole Foods Market was founded in Austin, Texas, when four local businesspeople decided the natural foods industry was ready for a supermarket format. Our founders were John Mackey and Renee Lawson Hardy, owners of Safer Way Natural Foods, and Craig Weller and Mark Skiles, owners of Clarksville Natural Grocery. The original Whole Foods Market opened in 1980 with a staff of only 19 people. It was an immediate success.
