About

Health Food StoreGrocery StoreVitamin & Supplements Store
Lori’s Natural Foods Center was established in 1981 by Jim Starks and his daughter, Lori. For many years, Jim and his wife Dori had always maintained a hearty garden for themselves and their family, so when the opportunity came for Jim to take early retirement after his 31 successful years at Bausch and Lomb, he put his love and appreciation for wholesome foods into his next adventure! After searching for some time, Jim purchased a small store that originally carried one line of vitamins and a few bulk items. He saw the opportunity, and with his 19-year old daughter Lori as his partner, Lori’s Natural Foods was born!

    This is a wonderful store. They have everything I need, including things that I am unable to find in other stores like my RAWZ brand pet food. I always feel good about making a purchase here knowing how much care and sustainability minded decision making goes into their offerings

    Lori's has been around since I was a kid (I always think of the fruit costume commercials😆). As an adult, it has become a staple for us to find more "natural", healthy, and local foods/items that we feel good about. I love that they provice local company products in store and have a decent variety of everything. For some items, the prices can be higher, but you get what you pay for - it's worth getting nutritious, fresh, and safe products! They offer fresh made soup which is always delicious! Everyone is very friendly and helpful in store. Love that they do different events where you can sample products, like the recent Harvest Festival!

    I go to lori's for certain things but they need to do better with their worker's because they have worker's who think they are something they are not instead of encouraging that type of behavior lifestyle get them the help they need they all need mental help truth matters over feelings you can see they are not happy at all if you really care for your worker's you will let them know that they need mental help feelings doesn't matter over truth at all.

    I love this store. Staff are helpful, kind, and knowledgeable about their products. They carry a variety of organic and planet-friendly food options. Plus some cool, fun novelty items as well. Books, bags, hats. If they don’t carry a product, and they can order it for you, they will. They do a lot of community outreach support for different groups. They reflect my values. I love that I can shop local and give back to my community through a store that has a heart, a conscience, and a deep sense of integrity.
