New Seasons Market is a chain of privately-owned neighborhood grocers operating in the Portland Metro area of Oregon. Founded by three families and 50 of their friends in 1999, the chain currently operates ten stores in Portland, Hillsboro, Beaverton, Happy Valley and Lake Oswego with a new store under construction in Beaverton's Progress Ridge neighborhood. Many of the products offered are organic and produced locally in the Pacific Northwest. The stores differ from most grocers by offering natural and conventional products side by side.

Neighborhoods

New Seasons Market emphasizes the idea of a neighborhood grocery store in part by naming their stores after the neighborhood in which they reside and reflecting their surroundings in the stores' design and decor. Job fairs are held in new stores' neighborhoods in an effort to recruit current members of the community.
