I just got back from Nutrition Smart in Pembroke Pines.
(There are multiple locations in FL-just an FYI)
And, monthly events all the time (check their site under ‘events’)
I had to get Christa’s vitamins, coconut water and lucked out….
Today was in store sampling day!
I got a bag of goodies (see pic below)
I don’t drink tea, so will give those to someone else.
The Muesli looks yummy (except for the raisins –I’ll take those out!)
and nom nom nom to the steel cut oats!
Glad I went today!
On downside?, I hadn’t been out that way for awhile and just noticed in the same parking lot they’re opening a walmart (yuck!)
Note my tweet as I was driving through the parking lot.
Now mind you this could go either way for the other stores in the plaza…
It could be good, because it’ll surely bring lots of traffic
But, it could go the other way and bring so much traffic that it’ll inconvenience others (ie: myself!) and not bring additional traffic into their actual stores.
Because honestly (and yes this is a judgment but whatever…those who read this know I say what I have to say and don’t hold back)
the people (for the most part) who shop at wally world are not the same people who shop at health & nutrition stores
(meaning… are they going to spend $$$ on organic foods, health foods or are they going to grab cheap boxed processed foods?)
So, hopefully people who shop via “wally” will be intrigued, curious enough to go into a health food store in same parking lot and perhaps learn about
real foods, nutrition, health….
one can hope!

I don’t want anyone to take offense to my comments above, as I know some of my friends & readers shop at “wally”
and I choose not to
just don’t want to upset anyone here with my ‘generalization’
