Our Story

When our former national brand closed its doors, we saw an opportunity: to build something better, rooted in local values and modern wellness solutions.

Founded by Ed Zausch and Dr Ed Martin, Wellness Shoppe and Dr Ed’s Nutrition Shoppe reflect a deep commitment to personalized service, community support, and high-quality supplement and nutrition programs custom-tailored to our customer’s needs.

Our new name and identity represent the evolution of our business,” said Zausch. “Wellness Shoppe reflects the full scope of what we offer — personalized, goal-driven health solutions for every stage of life — while maintaining the values and quality our customers trust. This change positions us to serve our community better and grow sustainably in the years ahead.”

At the heart of every location, the store’s manager is an experienced, people-first problem-solver committed to the needs of every customer. Their highly knowledgeable teams work closely with customers to identify products that align with their wellness goals — from gaining weight or losing weight to sleeping more soundly or boosting energy- we are here to enhance your overall well-being.

The Wellness Shoppe experience is grounded in providing a curated selection of high-potency, high-quality products, offering a significantly higher standard than typical mass-market or online offerings. Customers can expect knowledgeable, personalized support that puts their individual health goals first.

Our new identity also signals a modern and holistic approach to wellness. Our brand symbolizes balance and vitality, inviting customers to explore proactive solutions that inspire healthier, more vibrant lives.
