Founded by a close-knit family of four siblings, Natural Health Store represents their shared commitment to promoting healthier living. This venture blossomed following a challenging period when one sibling faced redundancy, inspiring them to embark on this rewarding journey. Their first store opened in Wexford in December 2013, and their presence expanded with a second location opening in Kilkenny five years later.
The store’s 5th anniversary on December 1st promises to be an eventful day, featuring a lucky dip with exciting prizes, a special appearance by Mick Cummins from Community Radio, and insightful consultations with expert guest advisors in store. To continue the celebrations, they also have 30% off on selected brands such as Holos, Solgar, Rosalique and many more running from November 24th to December 3rd.
The ethos of Natural Health Store revolves around providing personalised health solutions with passion and understanding. They truly understand the need for compassion and patience when talking to customers on the shop floor. The team, including four dedicated staff members, goes beyond merely recommending products; they engage deeply with customers to understand and address their specific health needs.
Responding to the changing landscape during the Covid pandemic, the store ventured into the digital world in 2021, launching an online platform offering an extensive range of over 5,000 products from 500 different brands. Further expansion in the Wexford store saw the underused lower ground floor transform into an expansive holistic gift section in 2022 of which the Kilkenny store stock a selection of.
The store, located in the Market Cross Shopping Centre, boasts a diverse array of products, including renowned brands like A.Vogel, Terranova, and Natures Plus, along with a variety of natural and vegan body care products, wholefoods, teas, and snacks. Committed to sustainability, they offer a refill service for body care and eco-friendly cleaning products, reducing plastic usage.
With the festive season approaching, the store is an ideal destination for thoughtful gifts, ranging from crystals and angel cards to specialty hampers catering to vegan, sugar-free, and gluten-free preferences. Customers can also create bespoke hampers for a more personalised touch, with gift vouchers available for those seeking flexible gifting options.
Clair has a weekly health column in the Observer every Friday. Pick up a copy for great health and advice tips. Join the celebration on December 1st at Natural Health Store, Market Cross or explore their offerings online at www.naturalhealthstore.ie.
