Marlene's Natural Foods & Deli

Marlene's Natural Foods & Deli is a natural foods grocery with a made-fresh deli, known for organic produce, pantry staples and supplements. The shelves also carry bulk foods, organic dairy, frozen and refrigerated items, and plant-based products, while the deli makes sandwiches, smoothies, juices and baked goods. The business is family-owned and traces its roots to a small Federal Way storefront that opened in 1976, and it now has a second store in Tacoma.

The Federal Way store is in Gateway Center and is open Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays. Catering is available for parties and meetings, and gift cards are sold in store. Seniors get 10% off regularly priced wellness products, and the free Wellness Talks classes are offered online so people can join from home. The staff are trained in supplements and wellness questions.
