H&B Is coming to Lordship Lane 

It will be next to the Large St Christophers in Lordship Lane

Also just to confirm that Oliver Bonas is taking over the 2 white stuff shops (i spoke to the builders yesterday and they confirmed they are breaking through to combine all three shops)

Very sad to see H&B on LL. Will still go to 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 😂

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 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.

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'
