LAKEWOOD, Colo. – The arrival of spring brings brighter days, warmer weather and, for many Americans, the challenge of losing an hour of sleep. To help make the seasonal shift a little easier, Natural Grocers is hosting its Spring Forward Into Even More Affordable Prices event, March 7–10. Available for a limited time at participating stores, the event offers customers timely savings, energizing favorites and sleep-smart wellness resources designed to help them feel their best as the clocks spring forward.
"Losing an hour can throw off more than just our schedules," said Raquel Isely, vice president of marketing at Natural Grocers. "Our Spring Forward event is about meeting customers where they are, with simple ways to support energy, sleep and everyday wellness during a transition that affects so many of us. It's one more way we help make healthy living easier, more affordable and a little more enjoyable."
RESOURCES TO BEAT THE TIME CHANGE BLUES
Feeling grumpy and generally out of sorts with every seemingly pointless daylight saving time change? Research links the time change to higher risks of heart attacks, accidents and sleep disruptions.[i] While we can't opt out of this outdated practice on our own, Natural Grocers offers resources to support our well-being through the transition—and keep pushing for change.
- Free pop-up coffee bar: March 7 – Customers can enjoy free samples of Natural Grocers® Brand Coffee from 10 AM - 12 PM at select stores.
