  • Fun facts about your favorite produce and healthy foods are on display throughout the store with information on why they are good for you. 
  • Check out the new Blue Zones Project designated section for non-perishable goods you can incorporate into your favorite recipes that sustain health and wellness. 
  • Look for healthy grab-and-go lunches and produce on display near the entrance to the store.
  • To help kids make healthier choices, cereals with the lowest nutritional value are stocked higher to reduce the likelihood of getting picked.
  • You can find information about the five original Blue Zones® communities where people are living longer, healthier lives.

Why I became a Blue Zones Project Approved™ Grocery Store: “GROW's experience becoming a Blue Zones Approved Grocery Store was not only good for our customers but good for our family, our employees and our business. The process helped us learn more about the items we offer and give advice to customers to help them make a healthier choice when shopping. From a business stand point, the cross marketing of Blue Zones foods has helped our sales, but the Blue Zones labels in the shop have had the most positive effect for GROW.”  – Barry Fisher, owner, GROW neighborhood market
