Can you tell us a little bit about your shop?
Nourish & Flourish Wholefoods is a brand new independent store which has opened at The Mill Outlet in Batley, West Yorkshire. It is part of a historic former textile mill in what was once the heart of the Yorkshire textile trade. Along with local customers, The Mill also attracts coach parties from around the country who visit to shop for quality items from both independent stores along with big brand names.
What’s the best part of owning a health food store?
We are passionate about customer service and interacting with our customers, giving them advice and putting a smile on their face is by far the highlight of our day.
What’s the most difficult part of owning a health food store?
As a brand new business, it's difficult to stock everything that customers need. We have overcome this by 'ordering on request' where we can telephone customers once their items come into the store.
Why do you like to stock Clearspring products?
The choice and quality of the Clearspring range is amazing. We love the fact that they are all organic, vegan, dairy free and the majority are gluten free too. As we are a small independent store, it's vital that we stock a variety of different products and have found Clearspring fits the bill perfectly.
Is there an event/promotion coming up in your shop/village/area that you would like people to know about?
We will be celebrating our Three Month Anniversary on Saturday 19th August by having a prize draw in store to win a hamper (including Clearspring products, of course!!). Customers can enter by making a purchase in store from Saturday 5th August where they will be given a raffle ticket. They can also enter on Facebook (our page is Nourish & Flourish Wholefoods) but must be able to collect the prize if they win.
Whats your one tip for living a happy, healthy life?
Everything in moderation!! Life is all about balance so as long as you nourish it with fresh, nutritious food 80% of the time, you can treat yourself and not feel guilty. Get out and about in the fresh air too… you don't need expensive gym memberships to get fit. Go for a walk, run or bike ride, it's FREE!!
