Introducing... The Gentle Rain Natural Health Food Store -- Today's business spotlight. In its 41st year (WOW WOW) this fabulous store just on the edge of do...wntown (on Rebecca Street) has been a Stratford staple for all things health and healthy food-related for a very long time. This is evident just in knowing most staff stick around for years and years. Featured here: Michelle, General Manager Liz, Grocery Manager Brandan, Owner Sara, Supplements Manager The newest face of the lot is Brandan Davidson, owner now for 6 years. His predecessor, Eric Eberhardt, (remembered so fondly by everyone) opened it in 1979. This store is packed with produce, supplements, natural household items, bulk items (that are currently packaged), back-to-school supplies and masks, and so much more. The most exciting news they have as of late is the Webcart Online Store. (Hooray!) Now you can order, pay, browse, all online for delivery OR pick-up. (Delivery in Stratford for only $5.) And their VIP system is fantastic. Anyone can sign up -- and you can collect points, receive paperless receipts, and it remembers your online orders for future use. Awesome! Find them on FB: the gentle rain natural health food store https://thegentlerain.ca/ #StratfordSeen #DTStratford #BusinessProfile See more
