Natural Grocers Planned for District 208 in Nampa

NAMPA — A new grocery store is headed for District 208 in Nampa, Idaho, and city records point to Natural Grocers. A permit application filed with the City of Nampa identifies Natural Grocers at 1509 Caldwell Blvd., the former Karcher Shopping Mall, and lists $1.1 million in work to prepare the space, Idaho News 6 reported.

Nampa Mayor Darl Bruner confirmed during his State of the City address on Oct. 22, 2026, that a grocery store is coming to District 208 next year, without naming the company. He said an announcement would come toward the end of the year, according to BoiseDev.

What the Natural Grocers permit shows

A note in the permit file describes "shell improvements" for a Natural Grocers, including interior demolition, overbuild, new HVAC and utility work "to coordinate w/ future tenant demand," BoiseDev reported. A certificate of occupancy will come through a separate tenant improvement application. The application's status was listed as "corrections pending," and it was not yet clear which space at District 208 the grocer would occupy. The company did not immediately respond to BoiseDev's request for comment, and the city did not say which space is planned.
