Since the store's purchase by Steve and Herb Shapiro in
1970, the small 900 square foot store has grown and
expanded into a 7000 square foot store now located at
66 Morris Street with three additional stores in Chester
(1977), Montclair (1978), and Parsippany (1983).
Through the growth over the past 39 years The Health
Shoppe has continued it's commitment to providing true
health foods in the face of an industry riddled with
deception.
Brant Shapiro, son of Steve Shapiro, joined the store in
1990 and has brought his passion for local and artesian
foods to the market. This can be noted most in our
Morristown and Chester stores with our delectable
selection of cheeses, honey, meat, flours and other
specialty regional products.
We offer only organic produce in our salad bar, juice
bar and deli. We meticulously scrutinize all of our
products to ensure the highest quality available. Being
a small family run business, we are able to work closely
with area farmers to buy the freshest produce possible
on a regular basis. We support local farmers markets
and other 'green' initiatives in the area.
Due to a growing interest in healthy diets, local foods
and home cooking, we have started a course of classes
focusing on just that. From a one hour nutrition 101
class which includes a tour of the store, to a 2 ½ hour
raw food preparation class/meal that will leave
attendant’s belly’s full and spirits inspired. The Health
Shoppe is committed to giving back to the community
that has supported it for the past 40 years and we
hope you come out to enjoy some of these classes.
