Natural Food Store — Restaurant in Searcy

I have shopped at NF for years and always looked forward to routine trips to the store. I am going to miss them. As a food store with a coffee bar, while they do provide curbside service for those hesitant to enter the store during the Covid19 pandemic the business owners have opted out of doing ANYTHING to act responsibly, pay attention to science or respect consumers inside the store. No masks on staff, no semblance of protective PPE or sanitary practice making & serving coffee to the public and no sanitizing wipes for carts. Curbside pick-up is only as good as the practices going on inside the store. I have spent hundreds at NF year in year out. It's going to be a challenge getting some of the refrigerated products they stock elsewhere. I simply do not feel safe or respected in an environment where a business promoting "good health" is owned & staffed by people that cannot implement even the simplest of health safeguards or responsible modeling for the public they serve and depend on as a retail business.

I love the lay out, they have massage therapy available by appointment on site, and wheelchair access to the front door! I can’t wait for...

I do like the store a lot. Supplements on one side, Olive and essential oils on another. Grocery consumables toward the rear. And dryed goods also. Goji berries so good. I do wish I could figure out the prices of items in the dry goods section. Also more visible prices in the essential oil section. Prices on one type is posted behind bottles at the back of the shelf. Staff is nice and helpful. I do like the way you are greeted with "hellos and if we can helps". Then more or less allowed to wonder. Yes someone after say 10-15 minutes of me in the essential oils section a member will come to see if I have questions. I like that...
