Alfalfa’s Market, Louisville, Colorado on June 10, 2014
Mark Retzloff, CEO of Alfalfa’s Market in the Louisville store
Alf’s rooster is about to spread its wings with a second Alfalfa’s Market soon to open in Louisville, Colorado. The new store is on the corner of South Boulder Road and Centennial Drive–LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Louisville is ranked as one of the “Best Places to Live” in the United States and is a hub for new-economy job opportunities. The addition of Alfalfa’s, a locally-grown business, is a perfect fit for this town, that is located only 6 miles from Boulder and 25 miles from Denver; and known for its Rocky Mountain views, outdoor life, summer concerts, crafts and now food!
For those familiar with shopping at Alfalfa’s in Boulder, the appearance and layout of the Louisville store is similar. Both stores have about the same amount of square footage in terms of shopping space and have community rooms and electric charging stations for cars. The Louisville store’s juice/coffee bar and indoor/outdoor cafe–with fireplace–are expansive (as is the parking). Bulk food is close to fresh produce. The olive and cheese bar has its own stage, surrounded by sushi, charcuterie, deli and prepared foods. The equipment and design are tip top; and create an efficient mise en place.
CEO, Mark Retzloff is keeping the official opening date a secret. There will be a soft opening this month. The new store remains true to its roots as a Boulder-owned and operated natural foods market. It maintains the same passion, adherence to strict product standards and true community market experience that Alfalfa’s is known for.
