A company spokeswoman said that the division did not meet the company's goals. Supervalu had planned to expand the stores nationally as a competitor to larger organic chains like Whole Foods and Wild Oats.

So very sad for me. I was looking forward to making the sunflower market in Denver my favorite store. I live in New Jersey but soon to move to Denver. So very sad that Whole Foods has played a part in the demise of Sunflower Markets. This system stinks.

I loved this store!! It was my favorite grocery store in Chicago. I just found it closed. They had the best items for such good prices. They made eating organic afforable. The coupons also kept me coming back again and again.

We love this store also, and it would be a shame to close this down. The compeditor stores are much more expensive to shop at and Sunflower has always been resonable.
