- The company initially served only Portland, Ore.-area locals, but quickly grew to be a natural foods powerhouse.
- Thanks to the ESOP that Moore established in 2010, the company's legacy was secured by transferring ownership to the people who helped Bob and Charlee build and grow it.
- In the meantime, local friends and fans are encouraged to visit the Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Store in Milwaukie, Oregon to share a memory in honor of Bob.
