With Vent Fitness (formerly Gold's Gym) in the same center, Supplement Central will be a much-needed addition that will breathe even more life in the area.
Not only does Supplement Central carry a large selection of the newest and best products on the market for specific needs, including sports nutrition, they have a health staff to answer questions.
"Our goal is to help people understand the benefits of supplements and fitness," said the president, James Prechtl. "Our health and service team at Supplement Central is knowledgeable on nutrition and alternative health. That's hard to find in so many supplement stores. It seems like all their staff knows is what is on the back of the bottle. Well, a customer can read that. Sometimes they want to know more.
"We are a complete store in terms of information, product selection, nutritional label info, direct answers to questions, tech and phone support, and a health team who care and help. We're at a time now when many people go to a supplement store first, and then to the doctor's office, when it used to be the other way around."
"The icing on the cake," says Mr. Prechtl, "is when we genuinely listen to our customers. Whether it's for weight loss, sports fitness, joint health or sexual health, our health team takes that extra step to answer any questions. We're known for that. We are also known for adding new products and informative content from a shopper's 'wish list.'"
Many supplement store chains may want to take note. More and more people want a better selection for specific health needs. Antioxidants and immune health, for example, are now more popular than weight loss products. People are taking better care of themselves ("preventive health"). They are more knowledgeable on alternative health than ever before, and they expect the same from a nutritional health supplement store.
We're at a time now when many people go to a supplement store first, and then to the doctor's office, when it used to be the other way around. From the complaints on the web, it seems that many of them are tired of not having their needs met, in addition to the high prices on many of the supplements.
Forget the balloons and horns, Supplement Central's opening day on August 2nd will be filled with serious giveaways and promotions—with lots of "what do you want us to carry in our new store for you?"
T-shirts, bags, shakers, samples, free Vortex blenders…here is a partial list of the brand names that will be at Hamilton Square August 2nd:
BSN
Gaspari Nutrition
USP Labs
Purus Labs
BPI Sports
Force factor
NOW Foods
Finaflex
See the president, James Prechtl, and everyone else over at Hamilton Square Shopping Center, on 2080 Western Ave.
It just may be a good marriage between Supplement Central and Hamilton Square. Only time will tell.
