Health Markets near Maplewood, NJ

“Truly one of the best supplement stores out there. I've been going for roughly 3 years whenever I need to re stock and she offers the best supplements (proteins, creatine, aminos etc.) for the best prices as well.
The woman behind the counter (who is the owner) is super nice, friendly and always engages in conversation. Truly gives the local/small business feel to it and I will never have a problem supporting this place.
One final piece I will always appreciate was one time my Mom went to pick up some stuff for me. Rather than most big named stores, the owner didn't try pressuring her into buying more than what she needed or came for. Rather, she helped her to find each product and if something wasn't available she gave the next best solution or left it.
Couldn't write enough nice reviews.”

“I walked into the store and BK. was very helpful so smart has knowledge of every product amazing love coming to this store highly recommend the store to anyone in Staten Island. Please come se BK she’ll you what you need”

Additionally, he issued me a refund and replaced the product. Stellar job correcting an error. I edited my review because I was so satisfied with how It was handled. This company has integrity, practices humility and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. Will purchase again from them in the future”

“I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Mimi at Whole Foods, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I approached her for help, Mimi was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her professionalism and genuine desire to provide excellent customer service were evident in every interaction. Thanks to Mimi, my shopping experience was seamless and enjoyable. Whole Foods is lucky to have such a dedicated and outstanding employee!

Even though I was skeptical about coming to Whole foods in Newark and have heard many stories. She made me reconsider here.”

“It's a shame that all GNCs around me have closed down, so I was really excited to see this location at the Mills Mall. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by an associate Li who asked if I was looking for something specific. I had informed him I was just browsing around. Eventually I did come up with some questions that Li was very knowledgeable about, and everything I picked up was followed by some wonderful insight from this associate. I think GNC is a wonderful company, but customer service like this is why I would go out of my way to come back. Highly recommend”

“I have been part of other food coops in Brooklyn. Yup, that one that is often mocked in the NYT. ( You can mock it but they built a multimillion dollar business so mock it all you want the hippies built a sustainable model for a grocery store with lots of good organic options.) Thirty years ago people thought we all joined a cult in these food coops. Yup that's right. Usually you join a food coop group with a work commitment to keep the project going, then you get a box of veggies or groceries weekly or so. Fast forward to the present many things food related are a club of sorts. Turns out its not so crazy to join a group and get special food needs met and its also not so crazy to work a bit for it. Anyways Purple Dragon is a food coop, like a buying club, not so much a CSA or community supported agriculture. Although i could be wrong... correct me please. I have been on and off part of this group for 5 years. When i am part of it, I like the affordable box of veggies. There is a good amount of fruit, salad items and veggies to cook. When i come off the subscription its mainly when I cook less in the summer or when i go out of town. The cons. They often include this crazy handout that is crammed with info which i dont read. My eyes are pretty bad. Sometimes you get rutabaga... not my favorite. Also ground cherries are weird. You only get what they give you. This could be a con or a pro. I dont mind being assigned my veggies and fruit but sometimes i do want to buy asian veggies. The pros. Great lettuce. Great organic produce. Often it was boston bib. And often its organic romaine. Great tomatoes and organic bananas that taste amazing. They have it in many towns in the central NJ area like South Orange snd Maplewood.”

“Today I was in a good mood so I decided to break my wallet and spend double on food that I could have gotten at ShopRite but decided to be like a rich white person and buy the same food minus the packaging while I packaged it myself in plastic LOL”

“Excellent organic food store.
I was surprised by how organized it is, how big it is and has a lot of variety in terms of natural, select products and more. The prices are a little high but the quality is excellent.”

“I called looking for a supplement that my Cat needed asap to save her life. I was told it could be ordered but I needed it asap . I ordered it overnight from an online store ...it didn't arrive . I called GNC to see if they had a different dose. The Gentleman had ordered it "Rutin" and he had recieved it overnight. Words can not express my Gratitude. I will go to This GNC for everything. Thank you ...”

“I love coming here! Ana is always super helpful and helps me find exactly what I need. She explains everything so well. I am always greeted at the door and always have a wonderful experience.”

“Hammid is THE BEST! , give him a raise!! he is very informative patient and considerate! He’s been very helpful to me & my gym & overall wellness journey, (I may have spelled his name wrong””

“Outstanding customer service. Both Kyle and Hailee (not sure if I spelled her name right, apologies if not) were very friendly, understanding, and helped make it right for me. Thank you guys so much definitely retained a customer for life!”

“Went to the store around 7:30 yesterday (Sunday night), and was helped by, as someone else had stated, the jacked Asian dude. Unfortunately I forgot to ask him his name but he was one of the coolest guys I have ever met and also the most knowledgeable vitamin store employee I have ever came across. Not only did he give me valuable training advice, he also offered me a scoop of his OWN pre workout and creatine. I never had service like this and from now on this is my new go to vitamin store. Highly recommend this place!”

“Just leaving here-was very surprised there weren't already reviews on this place however, it's all good since that's what I'm here for (lol)!! In any case, I called here earlier to see if they had a particular protein powder I was looking for. I usually go to "Vitamin Shop", however they didn't have the flavor I was looking for and decided to give this place a shot. The gentleman on the phone was very friendly in checking to make sure they had what I was looking for-and of course they did. Once I got there, the person working there whose name was "Christopher" was helping another customer and upon observing, was very helpful in giving useful information to another gentleman who seemed like he was taking protein for the first time. After he was done, I asked him about the product I was looking for and he automatically remembered me from calling. Afterwards, he completed my order and signed me up for the rewards program. I gave this place 5*s because "Chris" knocked the customer service aspect out the park from the Phone call to helping me through my transaction (give the man a raise)! Additionally, the store was very clean and conveniently located in a shopping plaza around other stores with plenty of parking. I highly recommend this store if you have health questions and just looking to live a better lifestyle all around!”

“Not sure whats the correct spelling but had a great talk and discussion with Deshaun/Deshawn. Had personal thoughts and questions for him, he explained everything greatly.”

“1200 stores closed! They went bankrupt from what the employee told me, but a lot of independently owned franchises are still open. The Lyndhurst store is gone after 20 years! The store in Belleville says closed if you look it up! What a shame! They send your order by mail for free if it's not in stock in the store. The employees were always very helpful and patient. I'm sorry to see all those stores closed and people that lost thier jobs. I will still go to the stores that are open though, and hopefully they will recover and be around for a while.”

“I'm a white man singing at whole foods is for uptight white people with extra money to buy food that is subpar but looks fancy yet has no plastic yet they give you plastic bags to put the food in make sense of it”

“I went to this GNC on an impulse to purchase a product which I wasn't sure was sold here. Suchet was incredibly helpful, kind, and professional in helping me locate what I wanted to purchase, and made recommendations based on my questions. She was the quintessential professional, and I will be back again.”
