Here’s the strategy at Diane’s Natural Market in St. Augustine, Fla.

Bill in the state senate would give new or existing grocers funding

First quarter performance “exceeded expectations”

Layoffs involve workers at the Chesapeake, Va., headquarters

The retailer had positive sales growth in April in some categories

But the food index remained unchanged

The grocer wants to expand its line of premium food products

The company is looking to hire salaried and hourly roles across the U.S.

Both announced solid Q1s, with DoorDash leading the way

Rite Aid will close three in New York; Natural Grocers will close two in the Dallas-Fort Worth area
