Vermont Business Magazine Healthy Living Market and Café is named one of the " 2021 Remarkable Independents" by grocery industry trade publication Winsight Grocery Business. Healthy Living is one of 13 retailers across the US to be selected.
"It's a great honor for Healthy Living to be included as a 2021 Remarkable Independent by Winsight Grocery Business,” says Eli Lesser-Goldsmith, CEO at Healthy Living Market and Cafe. “It's especially heartening to be honored for our in-store experience . Our team in all three of our locations is trained on hospitality, which leads to a better shopping experience. Hospitality was even more important this year, and our staff was able to bring joy to our guests in new ways! Additionally, we focus on lighting, fixtures and design in ways that may seem unconventional to other grocery stores."
“The 2021 class of Remarkable Independents celebrates independent grocers who have gone above and beyond in serving their communities at a time when grocers were pressed to reckon with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Kristina Peters, senior editor at Winsight Grocery Business. “Healthy Living Market, honored in the In-Store Experience category, pivoted quickly and continued to deliver on the incomparable service it is known for, all the while reminding its guests there are still things to be happy about even during such unprecedented times.”
