Vision, Mission, Core Values AND BRAND PROMISES

Vision:

Be remarkable! Inspire happiness, healthy living and simplicity, one guest at a time.
Every employee in every role can be remarkable in whatever job they are doing. From extending a courteous welcome, to helping guests in the aisle, to thanking employees and guests, each employee can inspire happiness in each guest they encounter.
As a company, Coborn’s, Inc. continues to find ways to encourage and inspire healthy living. We also strive to make our guests’ lives easier. By thinking ahead, by merchandising full meal ideas, by offering services, by investing in loyalty, and more, we want our guests to appreciate the ease of shopping with us.

Mission:

To empower employee owners to create unique shopping experiences, anticipate needs and exceed expectations for our guests.
It is important that each employee is empowered to take ownership in our guest focus. By investing in our employees, their engagement naturally increases, which then is projected to our guests. Unique shopping experiences can be anything from a friendly demo station or a tip on preparing a recipe to a healthy checkout lane or an employee who hands you a coupon you didn’t realize you were missing out on. Anticipating needs ties back into the simplicity piece of our vision. By putting ourselves into our guests’ shoes each day, we can find ways to make the shopping experience smooth and comfortable. And exceeding expectations can be done by anyone, anywhere. It all comes down to our common desire to surprise and delight each guest.
