Knaresborough health food shop under new ownership
A health food shop that has been operating in the centre of Knaresborough for 30 years has new owners.
Natural Choice in Market Place has been taken over by Healthy Stuff Group, which is an East Midlands-based business that operates a testing service for issues such as food allergies and iron deficiency.
This is the first of several planned high street stores by the new owners.
The Knaresborough shop will stock self-administered tests as well as wellbeing and health supplements.
Jason Wootton, chairman of Healthy Stuff Group, said:
The new owners said all staff had been retained and would be trained to assist customers in taking the tests in a new consultancy room.
The company said its move to physical stores followed a large increase in demand for its hair and finger-prick blood sample tests.
It attributed this to delays in seeing GPs and increased awareness of the ease and convenience of home testing following the widespread use of lateral flow tests during covid.
