Support Local Businesses
It is very important that you are conscious of where and how you spend your money. In a fascist system such as we live under in the US today, your vote matters much less than your dollar, because corporations, not the government, are in charge. Keep your money local whenever possible—isn’t it better if you are paying someone you know, who lives and works in your community, and has a vested interest in keeping that community intact? Corporations are not human—local business people are. Vote with your wallet, support quality businesses in your community.
Below I have listed a few businesses that I am personally loyal to. I highly recommend that you patronize them whenever possible, both for the reasons mentioned above and for the outstanding quality and service each provides.
Body Zone
1502 West Chester Pike (Route 3) West Chester/West Goshen
#610-918-2820
I have been buying supplements since I watched owner Bob Ware build out his store and gym himself. In the past ten years he has proven over and over to be a first-rate source of information and products. You may never find another retail supplement store with a better-informed staff. Bob’s prices rival even the Internet, and as a local business he is responsive to customers’ needs and wants. As soon as a new product or category exists you can be sure he will have it and be able to explain it…AND tell you honestly whether or not you really need it or can benefit from it.
There are two other very specific reasons I send anyone who will listen to Body Zone. First, I have heard Bob and his staff say to customers, “I don’t know” and “This product won’t do that for you” as well as “You shouldn’t take this…”. Unlike chains and internet ‘outlets’, they are not just looking to make a buck—they are interested in your well-being, and cultivating a long-term relationship.
Second, once-upon-a-time, in literally the worst period of my life, I stopped by for the only supplement I could afford at the time, ephedrine. A staff member, Bob Maull, asked why I wasn’t buying my usual monthly load of stuff—and checked the computer to see that my purchases had been dwindling off. I explained that I was literally on my way home from my final court hearing, after a process that had cost me $7,000 and my nearly-perfect job. I was just relieved I wasn’t going to prison on completely fabricated charges and I was trying to string together three crappy part-time jobs and piece my life back together.
Bob Maull told me to go and get everything I needed. He put almost $300 of supplements on his personal credit card. I paid him back, and I will continue to pay the store back as well as its’ employees by recommending that ALL my clients use Body Zone for their supplement and equipment purchases.
