Me too Health matters know their stuff give great advice and Monica and the team are lovely. H&B have minimum wage staff who although they are nice enough I would never trust for advice or guidence. I would always support a long running indpendent local buisness rather than a chain. It won't if you and others choose to support a small indpendent who have staff with superb product knowledge rather than a nationwide chain with regular 'salespeople' -
I can't remember exactly when it was, but some years back a shop opened up virtually opposite Health Matters which was selling more or less the same kind of thing (what were they thinking?!) It didn't last long, I assume because most if not all people continued to use Health Matters. Hopefully Health Matters and H&B are sufficiently different that Health Matters won't be impacted too much. Also, I doubt that assistants in H&B will have the same kind of expert knowledge about what they are selling as the people in Health Matters do - and for some kinds of products (eg vitamins, supplements, essential oils) it's important to be able to be sure that what you are being told is reliable. -
I noticed that today, cryptic wording on the shuttering, but guessed that was who it is. Seems sad that it will likely impact Health Matters -
I will go to both Health Matters and H&B! I already buy a lot online from H&B in their sales, - when they have excellent bargains for things like 3 for 2 large bags of nuts (which I freeze), and so it's one high street store I'm pleased to see on Lordship Lane (apart from their weird array of sports stuff and "snacks" with sugar in). I can't say the same for Oliver Bonas, but then I doubt I am their target market 😂
