Talk:Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers

You wikid wikid speedy deleters!

I am working on this article to bring it into conformance with both wiki style substance guides. Sorry for the half-baked formatting.

My concern about it being deleted is that a whole range of similar companies are encylo'd here based on nothing but their existance. Is it size, or age or national reach, or publicly traded status that makes something relevant to Wiki? No. But, I believe that Natural Grocers and the Isely family have built an educational and political powerhouse with an signicant and progressive following across the West and online. Four states, 55 years, and $200 million is sales may not be big deal, but that the company has such a distinct vision and very successfully competes head to head with the likes of Whole Foods is very relevant. If someone is sitting afar reading wiki posts and thinking these Isely's are nobobies wasting bandwidth on Wiki, they should ask Wild Oats why a picture of one of our stores was on a dartboard in their offices. Natural Grocers is a leading corporation in the political, social, environmental spheres. Oh, and they sell food.

So, let me know what the problem is. Thanks and, again, apologies.
