Wild Oats - Investor Relations

History
Wild Oats Markets, Inc. started in Boulder, Colorado in 1987 with the purchase of a single natural foods store. The concept grew store by store into the nation's second largest natural and organic foods supermarket chains, with a family of more than 110 stores in 24 states and British Columbia, and annual sales of more than $1 billion.

Philosophy
Wild Oats stands on a commitment to provide customers with the best selection of natural foods and health care products in a friendly, informative setting. Wild Oats strives to be a proactive member of its community, contributing to the lives of our customers, the communities we do business in and our staff.

Wild Oats supports the local economy as much as possible by offering locally produced and manufactured products including organic and locally grown produce.

Wild Oats also supports the community by actively giving back through organized events and philanthropic giving. The company founded 5% Days, a program that earmarks 5% of the day's pretax sales to a selected non-profit organization.

Offerings
Wild Oats offers a complete selection of natural foods and supplements. The company also features environmentally conscious and cruelty-free body care and household products. Wild Oats offers an expanding selection of its own line of private label products.

The company's shares are traded on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol OATS.
