Purpose over profits
As Sunflower continues to bloom and grow, our mission has continued to evolve with us. We’ve made it our goal to prioritize purpose over profit.
Embracing this spirit, we're sprucing up some of our old programs to better match our mission and unveiling fresh ones! These changes will sow the seeds for a larger impact on our communities.
All For One, And One For All
We are replacing our current senior discount plan to be more inclusive for all community members. All loyalty members will enjoy a 15% discount* on their total purchase every Wednesday from 3pm till close.
*SOME EXCLUSIONS APPLY
Furthermore, all day on Wednesdays and Sundays, loyalty members will earn double points on Sunflower Fresh items from our produce, meat, seafood and cafe. Loyalty members will also earn double points on items from our vitamin department to continue to support whole body health!
We Think Differently
As Sunflower continues to evolve, one of our focuses is fostering inclusivity. We are excited to announce two new programs added to our weekly schedule. Come and participate in our Sensory Shopping sessions every Thursday from 9am to 12pm at both of our stores. Enjoy a serene and relaxing atmosphere with subdued lighting and no music playing during these designated times.
A Better World Starts With a Better Market
Our staff are a crucial piece of our mission. We have created new roles, are committed to on-site training and value their overall wellbeing. We’re investing in our staff by providing comfortable living wages, bonuses, paid vacations, 401k plan, affordable health insurance, a monthly store credit, an employee discount and a safe space for everyone.
We are proud and grateful for the community that we have grown with since 1978. In 2023 we donated over $20,000 to local charities, community events and people in both Dutchess and Ulster County. In 2024 we will continue to fuel our vision and mission. We will continue to put purpose over profits.
Thank you for being a part of our journey!
