Grocery Jobs Created by Alfalfa's

A popular health food company is creating hundreds of grocery jobs in Colorado.

Alfalfa's recently announced its plans to open a new grocery store on April 22nd in Boulder. That store, which is located at the site of a former Alfalfa's store, will create hundreds of new jobs and provide more healthy shopping choices for local residents.

"Since we received the approval to purchase this store last June, we've been working hard to bring the people of Boulder the best the world has to offer in organic and natural foods," Mark Retzloff, co-founder and chairman of Alfalfa’s, said in a statement. "We've completely remodeled the store and have hired an all-star team of nearly 200 staff. We can't wait to open our doors to the public on Earth Day, which is a symbolic day considering Alfalfa's history and commitment to sustainable agriculture.

"At Alfalfa's, service comes first and we believe the quality, knowledge and energy of the people we hire will help make our retail experience distinct and enjoyable for our community," he continued. "That's why we've taken extra care in bringing in an experienced management staff, and in training our store employees so they are ready to serve and to share their passion when we open our doors on Earth Day. It was this passion and our support of the local community that made Alfalfa's special before, and will make us special again – 32 years after we opened our first store."

In 1979 there was an Alfalfa's in the same spot as the new store, at 1561 Broadway, but the food chain was sold to Wild Oats in 1996. Whole Foods Market acquired Wild Oats in 2007 and has operated the store location since that time, according to the Denver Business Journal.

The location will now become an Alfalfa's in a response to a ruling by the Federal Trade Commission that requires Whole Foods to split up its stores so the company doesn't end up dominating any one market in which it operates.
