The New Seasons Market store will be part of the Fisher’s Landing Marketplace shopping center at the intersection of 164th Avenue and McGillivray Boulevard. Gramor Development is conducting an extensive makeover of the shopping center. New Seasons Market will join Big Al’s, Target, HomeStreet Bank and Walgreens, among other businesses.
New Seasons Market is an active supporter of the regional food economy and is dedicated to purchasing from small Northwest family farms, ranches, dairies and fisheries. The Fisher’s Landing location will carry essential groceries for everyday eating and will feature local and organic produce, natural meats, wild-caught seafood, a huge variety of local and international cheeses, handmade organic breads, an extensive wine and beer selection and homemade, chef-prepared deli foods. The store will also have a large nutritional supplement department and will offer free wellness classes. For specialized customer nutritional needs, a staff nutritionist will be available for store tours and nutritional guidance.
As a locally owned and operated company, New Seasons Market enthusiastically supports the community. In 2010 the company gave 10 percent of its after-tax profits to more than 650 nonprofits and community groups. Additionally, the company’s grant program distributed funds to local organizations dedicated to supporting local family farms. Nearly $70,000 was distributed to various farming groups including 18 neighborhood farmers markets. In addition, 50 cents from the sale of each loaf of New Seasons Market’s organic sourdough bread is donated to the Loaves & Fishes Meals-on-Wheels program. The Fisher’s Landing store will make similar contributions to Southwest Washington community organizations.
“New Seasons Market’s fresh and locally sourced products along with their unique, community-focused business model has a large and very loyal customer base, they are unlike any other grocer currently in Vancouver, ” said Barry Cain, president of Gramor Development. “We are excited that this cooperative partnership is bringing the first New Seasons Market in Washington to this growing community.”
