Mastel’s Health Foods, a local, independently owned health food store, is now owned and operated by two of its current employees. After years of dedicated service to the store, General Manager Lauren Gaffney and Marketing Manager Alina Hornfeldt have purchased the store from Founder John Mastel. They are eager to continue providing the community with healthy, natural supplements and organic food options.

“We are thrilled to take the helm of this beloved community institution and build upon its legacy,” states Gaffney. “Our goal is to continue offering the same commitment to quality and wellness while exploring new and innovative ways to serve our customers.” Founded 55 years ago, the store is renowned for its knowledgeable staff, dedicated to helping customers make informed decisions about their health and wellness.

"We are passionate about the wellness industry and are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality products and services," shares Hornfeldt. "We believe in the power of supplements to improve health and well-being and are committed to helping our community live their healthiest lives."

Under the new ownership, Mastel’s Health Foods will continue to offer the same high-quality products and exceptional customer service that customers have come to know and love. The store will also expand its offerings to include new products and services to meet the community's changing needs.

"We are excited for the future of Mastel’s and look forward to serving our community for many years to come," Gaffney states. “We have been a part of this store for years, and we are passionate about its mission to help people lead healthier lives,” explains Hornfeldt. “We are grateful for the opportunity to carry on this important work and positively impact our community.”

Mastel’s Health Foods is a locally owned health food store offering a wide selection of supplements, organic food and personal care products. The store is dedicated to helping customers make informed decisions about their health and wellness. The new owners are eager to continue serving the community and to provide a welcoming and educational environment for all customers.
