I was happy to find out that they do, and that they charge the same price that Charlotte's Web does (unlike Botanica, which marks it up $6). I've always ordered directly from CW, but only when they have a sale or free shipping deal. I didn't want to pay full price and shipping, so Walsh to the rescue! The store is small but they have a lot of options and it's well-organized. They have an online store as well for non-local folks. The sales associate was super helpful directing me to what I was looking for, and they have a rewards program so you can get coupons and cash back at different thresholds. Great location, too, with plenty of street parking options. I'll definitely be back now that I know they keep the ginger gummies stocked :)

Ever since I started making gluten-free bread myself, I buy most of my ingredients here since you…read morecan buy them in small, loose-weight quantities, so you don't have tons of bags with starches/flours/baking sodas etc. cramming the cupboards. I also like that they have the Earth Balance soy-free variety of the vegan butter, since that one is hard to find in supermarkets. And I buy loose-weight jasmine tea here too. Now I've discovered that the owner makes and sells his own samosas here every day -- both regular and gluten-free -- and they taste fantastic and are very reasonably priced ($2.29 each + tax). They come with the two classic red and green Indian sauces. That's a great deal.

A-ok. I stopped in to get some supplements and found the couple I wanted fairly easily. When I came…read morein, the employee greeted me and let me know I if I needed help to let him know. I found some things pretty easy, but ended up not purchasing anything in store and instead looked online. In part that was because I was on my lunch hour and couldn't find things, and then when other customers were in I wasn't going to barge in and demand his attention. Also, one of the items I wanted was BOGO free, but there was only a single bottle of it so I needed to get it somewhere else. I can't help but wonder if it's something they only have one bottle of, because when I looked online for curbside pickup I found other stores only had one as well. I ended up having to get that item shipped to me. The store is very neat and tidy, which makes it pleasant to shop, but I hate that I have no idea where to begin with some things. For me, it's just easier to buy online for curbside pickup at the store.

My New Year's resolution for 2020 is to focus more on my overall health and well-being. The way I…read moreplan to accomplish this is to work on taking care of myself from the inside out. I discovered the Vitamin Shoppe a few years ago but only managed to make regular trips recently. Instead of depending wholly on pharmaceuticals for my health, I decided to look into holistic medicine. The Vitamin Shoppe carries a multitude of supplements ranging from anything that ails you to nutrition enhancers. I've found beneficial herbal supplements such as Turmeric and added them to my daily multivitamins. After a few weeks, I've noticed dramatic changes in my energy levels in addition to my hair and skin. I've even discovered a few aromatherapy essential oils to add to my humidifier/diffuser. The staff at every location I've visited are very friendly and helpful. There's always someone nearby asking if I need help with anything. There have been times when I had to ask about a product's function and each time, the employees I've met are knowledgeable about what they sell. If they have a not in stock item found on their website but not on the shelves, they make an effort to order it online and send it to your home free of charge. Their quality attention to the consumer is what I value about the chain and it's that level of consistency which makes me a loyal visitor. Overall if you're looking to be health conscious in the New Year, the Vitamin Shoppe is one of the best places to start.

The people who work at GNC are either paid solely on commission or waterboarded for weak sales…read more Every time I go to one of these stores, the clerks are about as subtle as Army recruiters or gypsies. Half the time they'll follow you around making overly personal chit-chat about your body type. They always throw in a few mentions of their "superior" multivitamins, too (total bullshit -- buy a generic multivitamin and save 15 bucks). Like true carnies, they try to rope the customer into spending way more than necessary with a variety of low-grade scare tactics ("Well, that powder is okay, I guess, but if you want REAL results, you'll get the one for $59.99 instead because it has more of the essential amino acids and blah-blah-blah...") Um. Excuse me. If the less expensive product is somehow inferior, then why the hell are you guys selling it in the first place? Huh? That's why I usually order supplements off the Internet. However, one night around Thanksgiving, I needed to replenish my stash and didn't feel like waiting around for a week to get it shipped. I stopped at this GNC on the way home from work and am pleased to report that these guys got it right. The kid working there was polite and didn't creep me out by calling me "guy" or "buddy" and making unsolicited comments about my arms. He simply let me buy the product I requested and wished me a good evening. That's all it takes to get five stars these days: Boundaries, Respect and Courtesy. Note to everyone in retail management - stop forcing your employees to stall customers and use other poorly masked carnie tactics. Just repeat after me: Boundaries, Respect and Courtesy. Follow this mantra and you will survive the scourge of Internet sales.

When I lived in the neighborhood I used to love to come to this location, everyone always seemed…read moreknowledgeable and helpful. Well not this time, I arrived on 7/13 at around 12:30. Store was totally empty and I one customer service person was standing outside. Not a big deal figured she was just on break, so I go inside with her asking about their vape selection as I suffer from severe anxiety and was hoping to get something to help, her very first suggestion was to go to dispensary 33 down the street to get THC marijuana products. I tried to explain that I don't handle marijuana well but was looking for suggestions for helping with anxiety for which she had not a single one, I try to ask about delta 8 which is new to me and the difference between that and other CBD products for which she didn't have an answer. I ended up picking a few items on my own without any guidance from the customer service person and left. Spent $120 on items that I hope may help but who knows. I doubt I'll go back again anytime soon especially when you have other stores with very knowledgeable staff. Really disappointed to see how the store declined

The produce makes up a lot of the store's inventory, so be sure to get some of this. Before it was pretty common for grocery stores to be independent. It's getting to be like these are all chains, but not at this one. This market is committed to the local community, and helps introduce unfamiliar items to people. A long time business in the community. It opened in 2004 at this location. A few hard to find specialties like Caribbean, Latin, and West African ingredients can be found. They also have hot food service. Has quite a lot inside. It's located on Morse Avenue at Greenview and is popular with many people. They make a lot of the prepared foods made to order, so it's fresh, and there's a good selection of meats and vegetables.

Sometimes they have good sales on particular items, such as produce that's overripe. I really love their selection of prepared foods, both entrees and bakery items. Their tiramisu "Greco traditional style" is some of the best tiramisu I've ever had!! Yes, their recently implemented "bag policy" is somewhat of a hassle, but I imagine they are such a small store that theft is actually an issue. Therefore they are trying to keep their profit margins in the black and I get that! They always have homeless people outside the store, many of whom I now know by name, who are just trying to get something to eat (and they do, from me and other neighbors), but it's still a liability for the store if someone steals from them. This isn't Walmart, i don't condone thieving from local markets!

I've been using BeeZBee CBD oil now for about 6 months. I chose their brand because they offer…read morelower doses (100 mg bottles) and I like taking the lowest effective dose of medicine that gets the job done. I've gone through about 4-5 bottles so far, one from this spot prior, several from CBD Kratom stores. The last time I needed a new bottle, I went there and noticed the "original" looked different than normal- kinda yellow. Normally it's more green, although I've noticed color variations before. The original is an unflavored product, just CBD in a vegetable oil that tastes like hemp. Natural. Exactly what I'm looking for. I asked the sales person about the color but she just shrugged and couldn't tell me anything. When I brought this bottle home and tried it, it was thick, gooey and with a gross sugary flavoring. So gross. I brought the bottle back and asked to exchange because it seems to be mislabeled and not what I bought at all. The guy told me they couldn't exchange, because the bottle was open, and that if the product changed "that's on BeeZBee." With so many CBD stores popping up, how can you not know your own inventory and products? Or take responsibility for what you sell? This stuff is NOT cheap. I'll tell you something else. They are constantly trying to PUSH Kratom on folks. I like CBD- totally anti Kratom. If you don't know about it, do your own research. Don't trust some guy trying to hook you on something he sells. https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm584970.htm The FDA has motioned to ban Kratom several times. It binds to the Opioid receptors in your brain, and if I were you, I wouldn't mess with some tea that basically acts on the same part of the brain that causes OxyContin and heroin addiction. It has a cult following with ex-heroin addicts because it reduces craving for them- but if that's the effect you're looking for, why not take Suboxone? And if you're NOT an ex addict, why risk it? I work in the addiction field, and folks have started popping up in rehab centers for this stuff. Just don't do it! Anyway, enough with the PSA... I definitely won't shop there again.
