    This is a great place for hard-to-find supplements, herbs, and dietary restricted foods. Great…read moreselection of vitamins, minerals, and supplements for every need. Their new store on Franklin Farm Lane is very neat, well-lit, and easily navigable. They carry a wide selection of foods for those on restricted diets like gluten-free, diary-free, and more. Both shelf-stable and refrigerated/frozen foods. Beware, it'll cost you a hefty amount for these foods! I feel this store carries a great selection, but their prices are too high. Some things here and there feel reasonable, but generally I can find the same items online from trusted sources for much cheaper. Sure, there may be shipping and a wait, but it's often worth it. I come here to browse sometimes, but have also relied upon it for homeopathic remedies. When my hubby cracked a rib, he wanted the homeopathic remedy to help speed healing. It was nice to go to this store and get it. They had it in stock, just what I wanted. Very convenient. It seems like The Nutrition Center is family-run, and I see two younger adults there sometimes which I tend to think might be the owner's children. I'm not sure just how knowledgeable these two are about the details for items they carry, but they seem friendly enough. Their website could use some regular care, they still have information about their grand opening from October of 2013 and it is now June of 2014. Perhaps adding in some information about new items, specials or sales, or educational information would spruce it up. Sadly though, it doesn't seem like they really run specials or sales. While I really do like knowing this store is close-by for times when I don't want to wait for something to come via mail, I find it too expensive to frequently shop here. I adore supporting local businesses, but I'm also not rich enough to spend that much money there when I can spend far less online. They've been around for a long time, so I guess some can afford it.

    The Nutrition Center is my favorite source for natural products and supplements. I come here for…read morevitamins, shower items, beauty products, snacks, toothpaste, and sometimes even gifts. They have such a wide variety of products that I would be surprised if you went and found nothing to buy. Every time I come, the staff is always so kind and helpful. Any time I have questions, they're willing to help. I also appreciate how many lines they continuously keep on sale. I buy Life Extension supplements here, and they always have it 20% off of the regular retail prices you find anywhere else or online. I've noticed many of their other brands are also marked down. They are very competitive with online in my opinion. I would much rather shop here than find somewhere online because they're incredibly kind and have given me so much of their time and for that, I love supporting them.

    Not very Common for a market!!…read more Everything here is exceptional. I love all the fruit, I literally just ate a peach and was so compelled to write about it. The staff, while is mostly comprised of college age hippies are knowledgeable and actually care. The whole store is very clean and the meat counter while very small screams old school home made!! The sausages looked so good I had to buy some, and after cooking them up with some onions and peppers my neighbors above me who are vegans were peeking as they chewed their grass and had to rethink their decisions on eating food that my food eats. There are fresh made sandwiches that they will press for you and give it that grilled awesomeness that only comes when your doing something special with meat and cheese and good bread pressed with 400 degrees of steel resulting in a sandwich that makes you want to light a subway franchise on fire. Now on my most recent trip, covid is rampantly knocking off people so a lot of the fun stuff has been put away. Normally they have fresh cooked food that you can box up hot and take and eat. The selection ranges from American favorites like loaf of meat and spaghetti to Indian food to soups and salads ( spinach salad is good, the dressing makes it the bomb dot com ) and fresh cookies and breads oh my. ( Public Notice: no lions or tigers ) You will spend more money per item here than Walmart. They don't have as good of a selection as Wegman's. They don't have a coupon app thingy that makes you think your saving money like everyone else. But you will feel like your saving baby seals and once you leave and start to load stuff into your vehicle a rabbit will wink at you in a attempt to say thank you. The lesson here is pay more money for food that tastes like food and not canned crap. Yes, we all like to save money, and that's noble. But there is a time to eat your extra long chili cheese coney ( much love sonic ) and there is a time to bite into a peach and feel like your a little kid again and have wonderful sweet juice roll off your chin and life is once again, is worth living. Stay hungry my friends, - JW

    While I like this place for the produce, it's very expensive. Wegman's is equally good and more…read morecost conscious.
