Once upon a time, the phrase "natural foods"
meant mysterious ingredients that no one understood or cared
to eat. Natural Foods stores were dark little places tucked
away in strange parts of town, selling oddities like bean
curd and whole wheat everything. Cookies weighed a pound
apiece, and there was no meat to be found anywhere on
the premises. When Healthy Living started in 1986, that
was the state of the industry, but soon after, things
began to change as Americans started to focus on that
elusive thing called diet, and how it affects us. At that
point, the natural foods industry saw the opportunity
to jump into the mainstream and everything from product
variety to packaging was adjusted to fit the American
lifestyle. Now natural foods products are everywhere and
the words "natural" and "organic"
are part of our everyday vocabulary.
So where does that leave a small, independently-owned
store like Healthy Living? We are certainly still selling
natural and organic foods. What sets up apart from conventional
supermarkets is partly our buying power and excellent
prices. But more than that is our staff and our famous,
memorable customer service. We are a group of committed,
knowledgeable people who work hard to serve the community
we love. We like to think we carry the finest, freshest
natural foods available at excellent prices. Most of
all, we really like to educate, help and take care of
you, our customer.
