Edmonds Vitamins Owner Celebrates 20 Years

 Justin Reeder, owner of Edmonds Vitamins and Herbs, has been a local business owner for 20 years. She can usually be found in her 5th Avenue South shop, helping customers find supplements and products for optimal health. Recently she shared some recollections about her business:

"When we opened in February 1997, there were maybe five customers a day. Now, it’s non-stop. I have to keep up with orders and stay up-to-date on the latest products if I want to help my customers."

“A big thing that has happened in the past 20 years is that many of my customers have become friends. The only reason why I’m still here, even while Amazon is putting people like me out of business, is loyal customers. They are intelligent people who want to be responsible for their health, and the Edmonds area has a lot of them. If this store were anywhere else, I probably wouldn’t still be in business. It’s a consortium of people who are intelligent and know they have to take care of their health. New customers come in every day and they understand that to keep this resource alive, they know what to do.

“For my 20th anniversary in Edmonds, I am celebrating all year with gift baskets and specials.”
