Jim Someck

Founder, Jimbo’s Naturally!

Jim Someck started his natural foods grocery store in North Park in 1984. For 30 years, his emphasis on locally sourced and organic produce and food items, community service and customer service have earned a loyal following. Jimbo’s Naturally! was inspired by Someck’s work with the now known Ocean Beach People’s Organic Food Co-op in the 1970s. He recently opened the company’s sixth store at the Westfield Horton Plaza downtown, continuing to focus on carrying mostly all organic products, a strong non-GMO policy and supporting as many local farmers and artisans as possible. Someck was one of the four founders of the Independent Natural Food Retailers Association and served as its first board president.
