Natural Grocers Reincorporates as a Texas Corporation for Long-Term Growth
Natural Grocers has announced plans to reincorporate from Delaware to Texas, citing its strong presence and future growth potential in the state. The move was approved by the company's board of directors following an SEC filing that emphasized no changes will occur regarding business operations, jobs, or store locations as a result of the change. Texas currently hosts around two dozen Natural Grocers stores, making it the second-largest market after Colorado. The grocer highlighted Texas' favorable corporate laws and economic policies as key factors in its decision to reincorporate there. These include protections against litigation and support for innovation and job creation that align with long-term growth goals. Despite a challenging macroeconomic climate, Natural Grocers has shown resilience, reporting recent quarterly sales increases of nearly 2% and accelerating comparable-store sales. The company aims for annual new-store growth between 4% to 5%, reflecting its confidence in continued expansion.
