Branstrom |每日PressAt Healthway营养商店,吉姆Schwake和Paula Sturm协助客户打电话划拨项目。ESCANABA——当吉姆Schwake在第一大街2307号南买了商店在1990年从嫂子Gloria Kossow ESCANABA,普通成年人可以看到在货架的维生素是什么,Kossow之下,“健康营养中心。“Schwake以为这个名字是混乱的,所以业务是零售机构澄清,他把它改为“Healthway营养商店。“虽然建筑本身没有扩大,Schwake,尤妮斯妻子和女儿宝拉有最大化的使用空间。小结构密集,不是库存过剩,而是纯粹的各种产品。产品都发生了巨大变化的原因。建筑最初是由附近的基督复临安息日会的教会,谁跑一部分作为存储和部分食品储藏室。Kossow买它时,她打开了整个地方客户和关注健康食品。Schwake保留了主题和他们如何进行开发。”只有一个双门冰箱和一个冷却器,”他说,并指了指柜台排冷冻室现在相反与几个货架无乳糖冰淇淋和其他无过敏的食物。“我们已经添加了两个冷却器。我们做了很多的改造和所有; got new equipment, shelving.” The people who used to be able to see over the shelves now crane their necks to see ones that rise almost to the ceiling. As far as the product line, Schwake wouldn’t have been able to keep stocking the same old merchandise even if he wanted to. “The stuff they used to make 20 or 30 years ago don’t even exist anymore,” he said. “Bulk foods back in the ’80s and ’90s used to be very popular,” chipped in Paula Sturm, his daughter, who runs the store now. Jim ran the place for only a few years before he went back to work full time in 1993, at which point operations passed to his wife, Eunice. She handled Healthway for about 20 years before Paula moved back to Esky and stepped in. Now it’s mostly Paula and her sister, two other employees, and Jim for brief morning spells. Of the shifts throughout the decades: “People’s eating habits have changed,” said Paula. More spices are available; in 1990 the store stocked about 30, but at present that number is around 400. Paula explained that bulk items used to be popular when people did more home cooking. People are busier these days and prefer the convenience of prepared items, so Healthway stocks what customers ask for. Paula said she goes to food shows and hunts for vendors to do her best to track down requests. “We do a lot of special things for people. And that’s our thing. We go above and beyond where a big box store can’t.” While larger stores have chains of departments who must communicate before making purchases, people stopping into Healthway on any given day are likely to meet Paula, who directly sources the items on the shelves. A bucket of massive zucchini were on sale outside, along with some other vegetables that Paula grows in her own garden. She said that 100% of the proceeds from her produce goes to charity. Customers at Healthway Nutrition Store shop for wholesome options that accommodate food allergies, digestive issues, and trouble sleeping, said Paula. They tend to leave happy.
