Rosauers Acquires Hank's Harvest Foods in Washington
Rosauers Supermarkets has completed its acquisition of Hank's Harvest Foods in Twisp, Wash. This latest addition brings the chain’s total number of grocery stores to 24.
Hank and Judy Konrad purchased Hank's in 1975 and built the larger, current location just a few years later. Hank's Harvest Foods has been a fixture in the community for almost 50 years. Hank's is known throughout the Methow Valley as the local grocery store that takes care of customers and employees alike with quality and selection, excellent service, and an unwavering commitment to the surrounding community.

Washington Food Industry Association presented Hank’s Harvest Foods with its Community Service award in 2015. Hanks’ stayed open during the 2014 Carlton Complex Fire in north central Washington, ensuring that the community and firefighters had access to supplies and acted as a hub of information. After an evacuation order, Konrad even handed out money to ensure that all citizens at his adjoining service station could flee the fires.
"Rosauers is excited to welcome Hank’s into the Rosauers family,” said Cliff Rigsbee, CEO of Rosauers. “We are honored to have been given the opportunity to serve the Methow Valley. Hank and Judy are heroes in this community and have shown great trust in us [by] allowing us to continue their legacy of service and support.”
