Delivering healthy choices

By Bronwyn Hastings

Health foods supermarket Nu Life is celebrating 50 years of business in Horsham this year, supplying people with diet and lifestyle-specific items.

Eleven-year owner Steve Grose, with a lifelong interest in health food and a background in supermarkets and merchandising, prides himself on being able to supply people with raw, untouched, healthy foods.

“It’s just a healthy supermarket really, you’ve got everything from bulk food, bulk home and personal care – complete retail ranges,” he said.

“We have virtually every pantry food and supplement, sports and everything, and we also try to source particular foods for people.

“That’s half of what we do, carefully selecting our range by request. 

“Invariably it’s going to stay on the shelf, because it’s filling a niche that we didn’t have, then you see how it sells from there.

“That’s how we get a lot of products in and increase our range, it works out quite well from that aspect.”

Mr Grose said the size of the store was limiting, but he was planning on renovating later this year.

“It is really hard, crammed into a tiny little shop, but later this year I’ll be knocking out a wall to open up the retail section a bit. It just needs a bit more planning,” he said.

“But it’s working well as it is; we style ourselves with a more homely approach. 

“Primarily, it’s about helping people, that’s where we’re at.”

Nu Life, at 50A Pynsent Street, sources quality foods from as-local-as-possible suppliers, with people able to choose from small, self-serve amounts to buying in bulk.
