Independent health food store opens in Loveland, Colo.

3 Min Read
The Crunchy Grocer, an independent and locally owned natural foods market, today announced it has opened its doors for business. The 6,200-square-foot store located at 1461 E. Eisenhower in Loveland, Colo., is the only emancipated food market in Northern Colorado, and is dedicated to offering its customers the freshest selection of clean, organic foods. The store is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. To celebrate its opening, The Crunchy Grocer will host a Late-Harvest Party on Saturday, Nov. 16, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the store. Everyone is invited to this free, family-friendly event.
The Crunchy Grocer is the vision of local residents and clean food advocates Jonas and Missy Buehl, who created the store to provide their community with access to a variety of nutritious, sustainably produced food and all-natural products.
“We want everyone in our community to enjoy healthy, real foods, so we’re excited to welcome everyone into the store,” said Jonas Buehl, co-owner and founder. “We believe the quality of our food is directly correlated to the quality of our health, and neither should be taken for granted.”
At the forefront of The Crunchy Grocer’s vision is the attention to clean food–going beyond what the government and USDA deems “safe” and “organic.” It’s nutritionally dense, whole food that’s unprocessed or minimally processed or refined. And, it’s free of genetic engineering, hormones, antibiotics and other contaminants.
“Consumers have the right to know and the right to choose what they’re eating, where it comes from, and how it’s produced,” added Missy Buehl, co-owner and founder. “We’re honest and straightforward with our product labels, so our customers can be certain they are choosing only the healthiest foods for themselves and their families.”
