  • Nancy Lebold Named Chief Executive Officer at New Seasons Market and New Leaf Community Markets
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nancy Lebold Named Chief Executive Officer at New Seasons Market and New Leaf Community Markets PORTLAND, Ore. – April 15, 2021 – West Coast neighborhood grocers New Seasons Market and New Leaf Community Markets, independent operators within the Good Food Holdings family of brands, today announced seasoned grocery executive Nancy Lebold as chief executive officer. Lebold assumes the position effective April 15. Nancy Lebold joins New Seasons Market and New Leaf Community Markets from Food4Less, where she most recently served as vice president of merchandising in California. Prior to Food4Less, Lebold built a 25-year career at WinCo Foods, where she held several leadership roles throughout the Pacific Northwest, including senior vice president of retail operations, vice president of procurement in Idaho, and vice president of general merchandise in Oregon. A native Oregonian, Lebold has a personal passion for regional food economies with fond memories of summer berry picking and her first job at a local cannery in the Willamette Valley. “As we emerge from the challenges of the past year, I look forward to bringing a people-centric leadership approach to New Seasons Market and New Leaf Community Markets as we reconnect communities around good food,” said Nancy Lebold, chief executive officer. “In close partnership with the current senior leadership teams, I’m committed to creating reinvigorated experiences at both banners that offer staff, customers and the communities we serve more reasons to fall in love with us all over again.” The companies also shared that current regional vice president, Forrest Gonsiewski, will continue in a senior leadership position overseeing strategic business initiatives for New Leaf Community Markets and the New Seasons Market Evergreen store in Northern California.

  • Retail Market Analysis
    RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS ALEC LAWRENCE Portland State University The Portland Metro’s retail market experienced a positive but relatively un- noteworthy fourth quarter. Vacancy decreased slightly, rates increased slightly, and deliveries, though below 2014 levels, brought 820,000 square feet of retail online with absorption generally steady enough to absorb the new supply. This occurred with a somewhat chaotic backdrop for the retail industry nationally. The bifurcation of the retail industry between luxury and bargain continued, with traditional mid-priced retailers continuing to struggle. E-commerce has continued to account for a greater amount of overall spending, while brick and mortar retailers have continued implementing omni-channel capabilities. Holiday sales were up by 3 percent nationally according to the National Retail Federation. However, many mid-priced traditional retailers reported disappointing holiday sales in the fourth quarter. These included: Kohl’s, Ralph Lauren, Macy’s, Gap, and Best Buy among others. Clothiers were reportedly hit by unseasonably warm weather reducing demand for higher-priced winter clothing. The National Retail Federation reported 9 percent growth in online and other non-store holiday sales during the holiday season. A sure sign of change, Wal-Mart announced it will close 269 stores and will end its Wal-Mart express small-store format after the format never caught on with consumers. Of the 269 stores, 154 are in the United States and of the 154, 102 are its express store format. Two are in the Portland area: its 8235 SW Apple Way store in Portland and its 17711 Jean Way store in Lake Oswego. Both are its Neighborhood Market format.

  • Annual Report
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT Data Accurate January 1 - December 31, 2015 Dear Community Members, Thank you for your incredible support in 2015! This support allowed us to reach over 1,000 youth in Washington County and provide them with a sense of belonging, a safe place to master skills, opportunities to practice generosity, and avenues to find independence. Through the efforts of almost 1,000 volunteers and community partners, we have expanded our outreach teams and employment services. Unfortunately, due to a severe shortage of affordable housing in this area, the number of young people impacted by housing instability continues to grow. Last year 2,148 K-12 students were identified as homeless in Washington County alone. This represents an increase of almost 147 students from the year before, which is truly tragic. The need for our services is greater than ever. Last year marked a milestone for me personally as I have had the life changing privilege of becoming a mother. It has helped me realize, even more, how incredibly valuable HomePlate is for our community. It serves as a support system for young people that were not naturally surrounded by one. The one immeasurable outcome that matters most to us at HomePlate is that we exist to offer an opportunity for such courageous and resilient young people to connect in safety with others in our community who genuinely care, without judgment, fear of exploitation, or concern for expectation. It is in this offering of bonding, comfort and love, our basic emotional needs, paired with meeting other basic needs like food and clothing, that we have witnessed unending promise for not only our youth, but our volunteers, our staff, and our broader community.

While much of shrinkage can be due to theft, it is impossible to distinguish between this and misplaced or inaccurate material accounting. Results reported herein should be considered a baseline assessment and not an annualized rate. There are three general ways to categories how shrinkage occurs to the library collection: materials are borrowed by patrons and unreturned; items which cannot be located are subsequently placed on missing status; and materials missing in the inventory, where the catalog identifies them as being on the shelf, are not located after repeated searches. Each of these three ways was assessed and reported separately due to the nature of their tracking. Shrinkage was measured for all branches and outreach services and for most material types, with the exception of non-circulating reference materials, paperbacks, CD-ROMS, maps, and the special collections. This analysis reflected 1.67 million of the 2.06 million item multi-branch collection (87% of the entire collection).
