Almost a Month Old :D

We are almost there! Just a few more days and we will have been open for an entire month. We want to take a minute to thank all of our supporters. Once again, we can't thank you enough! We have big plans for the next few months, so please stay posted. Now that we have most of our kinks  worked out (we hope!), we will be focusing on growing our business so we can showcase great things at our grand opening celebration. Dustin and I kid around and say that opening our store was the easy part! ha We are entering into a busy season for our industry and we are looking forward to experiencing continual growth. The first new program we are implementing is our Deal of the Week and Brand of the Month. These are going to be special savings in addition to our low prices! Don't worry, we aren't going to be broke; we are passing along savings given to us by our suppliers! I just planned out our first month and we will be showcasing Solgar, a great brand, that has been providing quality supplements since 1947. The entire line will be on sale for the whole month and we will be showcasing one of their best-selling products each week for an additional percentage off! This month, we will showcase a Whole Food Multi-Vitamin, a CO-Q 10 supplement, an Omega 3 Fish Oil and a Red Yeast Rice product. Each week I will work to educate our consumers on how these products are beneficial to us.

On a more personal note, last Sunday we welcomed our nephew, Parker Ryan Owens, into the world. He is such a sweet boy and a great baby! Watching Addison (almost 2), interact with her new brother, completely melts my heart. She is such a cutie. Congratulations to Ryan, Ashley & Addison. We love you guys!

Now remember, there is no time like the present to gain health. At Vitalize, we are committed to helping make that a possibility for you. Make a decision for health every day; you won't regret it!

Soft Opening

So, we did it! Our doors are now open. Our first day in business was August 29 and we had a great showing from family, friends and some passersby. Thanks to all who have come out and shown their support thus far. It means so incredibly much to us. We are now into our third week and things are picking up. It is great to be meeting our customer base and learning about their wants and needs. The thing that amazes me the most is hearing how many people say they patiently waited for us to open and how they are so glad that they did! We have had a very positive response so far and we hope to continue to get the word out.

I feel like I am already fulfilling my mission of educating people to better health! It brings me so much joy to know that I am helping people make healthier lifestyle choices. I can't wait to get our weight management support group underway. I have so many other exciting ideas in my mind that I can't wait to implement. I just have to make sure I don't get ahead of myself. :) Master one thing at a time!

Stay tuned for more information about our grand opening. I will be sure to check in more often and use this platform to share healthy tips and strategies for improving your life!


Thanks again for everything,
