All Vitamin Shoppe stores will have local health and wellness partners at the stores during the day to talk with customers, showcase new products and sample new items.  Each store will reflect their local community offering different local partners.  The first 50 participants at every Expo will receive free samples from great vendors including  Nutrex – Spirulina Pacifica, Nordic Naturals – Omega Jellies,  Boiron – Oscillococinum and Aubrey – Honeysuckle Rose shampoo and conditioner as well as a free goodie bag full of healthy samples and other great products.  (One bag per customer, please.)

"All it takes is one day to make a difference in your health and wellness," said Doug Henson, Senior Vice President of Retail Operations for the Vitamin Shoppe.  "By participating in the 'Share the Health Expo' local organizations have an opportunity to make a difference in the health of their local communities."

Contact your local Vitamin Shoppe to find out the specific partners and times for the local "Share the Health Expo" in your neighborhood.
