Healthier Choices Management Corp. (HCMC) has taken a significant step in the organic grocery segment by acquiring GreenAcres Market, a well-regarded chain offering organic and natural health foods. With five locations across Kansas and Oklahoma, GreenAcres is known for its commitment to providing high-quality products, including organic produce, natural groceries, and dietary supplements sourced from both national and local brands. This acquisition aligns with HCMC’s mission to promote healthier lifestyle choices and improve nutritional options.
CEO Jeffrey Holman expressed optimism about this strategic move, projecting that the acquisition could boost HCMC’s annual revenue to approximately $75 million. This expansion not only diversifies HCMC’s portfolio but also marks its entry into the Midwestern market, broadening its geographical footprint. Currently, HCMC operates several subsidiaries, including Ada’s Natural Market and Mother Earth’s Storehouse, which cater to the growing consumer demand for organic products.
The strong performance of HCMC is reflected in its financial results, where it reported a record net sales of $15.9 million for the first quarter, highlighting a 17% year-over-year increase. This growth underscores the rising popularity of organic and natural food options among consumers, demonstrating that HCMC is strategically positioned to meet this demand.
Moreover, the potential synergies from this acquisition could further enhance HCMC’s role within the natural products industry, advancing its educational mission regarding alternative health options. As HCMC continues to innovate and expand, it remains committed to promoting accessibility to healthier foods and wellness resources across the United States.
