"My name is Jake Halvig and I am the owner of Nutrishop Roseville. As an athlete and a personal trainer, I had been a customer of Nutrishop Chico since 2006. After personal training, I got into e-commerce. Even though the business was lucrative, it was never a true passion of mine, so I decided it was time for a change. I started looking into different business opportunities. After looking into various business models, Nutrishop was not only familiar and something I was passionate about but they also stood out from the rest with their business model and how it was structured. The Nutrishop model is truly designed to help insure the success of the store owner in every way. In 2014 I made the move to Oregon where I opened my first Nutrishop location. After living in California for my entire life, I soon realized that Oregon was just not for me. After one year of being open, the Oregon Nutrishop was on its way to being a very successful store and I was able to leave it to my business partner at the time and move back to California where I once again got back to doing e-commerce. In 2017 I was presented with an opportunity to purchase Nutrishop in Roseville from a good friend of mine Dale Kitt, who was a huge help to me opening the Oregon Nutrishop. After the first month at Nutrishop Roseville, I knew this community was for me and I was all in! With a great business model and support from my fellow store owners and Nutrishop Corporate team, my first year was very successful to say the least and its only getting better! I have truly found my passion! The feedback from the community we are fortunate enough to serve absolutely amazes me and is so satisfying on a daily basis. Thank you Nutrishop!"

"In high school, I started working at a local supplement store. It took almost no time at all to realize I'd found something I was deeply passionate about. As my knowledge of all things health and proper supplementation grew, I became the “go-to” person all my friends and family went to whenever they needed guidance. Although I loved working at various supplement stores throughout high school and college, I never saw it as anything more than just a fun, part-time job I did to help put myself through school. 

When I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in economics, I pursued a 9-5 life in the corporate world. Just as it took no time to figure out I had a passion for health and wellness, it took no time at all to figure out the corporate world was not for me. Through the unbelievable love and support my family gave and gives me, I made the decision to take the leap and open up a supplement store of my own.

As I toyed with the idea, I was invited to partner with someone I had previously worked for to open another supplement store with him. It was an attractive offer and it seemed to be the right choice, but I had to do my due diligence and see what other franchising opportunities were out there. As I researched, I realized all these stores seemed the same, just “OK,” nothing special. That is, until I found NUTRISHOP. Now, when I tell you I hadn’t spent more than 5 minutes looking over the NUTRISHOP website and speaking with Bryon McLendon (founder and CEO), before deciding beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was the route I wanted to take, I am not messing around.

The NUTRISHOP team almost instantaneously became the NUTRISHOP family, and I couldn’t be more thankful for everything they have done and continue to do to make my business wildly successful. Choosing to open a NUTRISHOP store has undoubtedly been the single greatest decision I’ve ever made, and it has given me the exact life I have always dreamed of having."

I decided to run with a Nutrishop franchise after doing a ton of research on other companies. In fact, I almost purchased a boutique gym franchise last year, but the terms were unrealistic to me as a business owner.  

I’ve worked in the financial industry for 14 years and while that’s still great, I wanted to pursue a career that provided myself and others more value.  It was time for a change. I discovered that if I wasn’t being challenged or passionate about was I was doing, what was my purpose? 

When I heard that the Nutrishop location near me may be for sale, I set out to schedule a meeting with the owner to express my interest in acquiring the business. His schedule was full so connecting with him was difficult. I was on a mission so rather than wait around, I filled out a Nutrishop application online to inquire about opening a new franchise location in a different territory. Bryon McLendon called me once he received my application and we had a great conversation. That one single call changed me and shortly after I decided to pursue my initial plan and finally met with the existing store owner. We came to an agreement on the buyout terms and discussed his exit strategy. 

During the next couple of months and many calls with Bryon McLendon, I thought, “this guy really gives a sh*t about me and this business”. His beliefs encompasses the reason for why I wanted to open a Nutrishop and do something on my own.  

As of this writing, I’m almost at the finish line. I just returned from the new store owner training in Southern CA (which was an incredible, eye-opening experience) and am extremely motivated to inspire others and help people. I felt so much love from the Nutrishop Corporate Team that I was confident this was my place. Things happen for a reason, not by luck. They happen with hard work and persistence and with that you won’t fail. Nutrishop, we’re family now! ;)

"In 2011, I decided to change my life for the better. I got a gym membership at a very popular gym and started working out every day. Every time I walked into the gym, I would see a logo on shaker cups, t-shirts, and towels: the Nutrishop logo. I had no clue what it meant, so I asked. 

I wanted to be a part of whatever this Nutrishop thing was. I was directed to Nutrishop Hendersonville, where I was welcomed with open arms. I invested in supplements and vitamins to help with my journey and quickly reached my goals. In two years, I became a sponsored athlete with Nutrishop and had a closet full of those t-shirts that once intrigued my curiosity.  

After relocating to a different state, to my surprise, I found that a Nutrishop was being built directly next door to my new job. I introduced myself to the owner and helped him unload boxes while discussing my Nutrishop past. Six more months later, after a promotion, I had to relocate a few towns away. I joined a gym and directly inside was a small Nutrishop pro-shop. It's like Nutrishop was haunting me! After a few weeks, I met my now fiancée inside that pro-shop. Nutrishop has directed my path from day one, by helping me learn about being healthy, by allowing me to become a part of a Nutrishop ecosystem, through getting to meet owners that became my friends, and by leading me to my future wife.  

It didn't take me long to realize that owning a Nutrishop was the smartest decision for me, considering all the blessings just being around it has brought into my life. I simply went through the process, and the corporate support team has been just as helpful as the rest of my Nutrishop experiences. Now I am a proud owner of Nutrishop Lexington in KY, and it all sparked from seeing random Nutrishop t-shirts in a local gym."

"I decided to open a Nutrishop in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee almost four years ago and I can confidently say it was the best decision I've ever made. I have been blessed to experience an overwhelming amount of growth over the years that has allowed me to give my family a lot of luxuries I couldn't afford growing up. When I graduated college I ended up working a desk job, crunching numbers, unfulfilled, and that wasn't the path I saw for myself in life. When I opened my Nutrishop location I was able to bridge the gap of being my own boss with being able to help others live a healthier lifestyle. Four years later, I've become one of the most recognized members of my community and have had the luxury of helping thousands become healthier & happier versions of themselves. It doesn't get any better than that! When trying to figure out your life path remember this: If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Thank you Nutrishop!"

"My name is Howard Kinnick, after 30 years in the car business and ready for a change, my wife and I were searching for a way to own a business and reinvent ourselves. We had both shared a lasting passion for health, fitness and nutrition and decided after much research, that Nutrishop was the right fit for us.

We have quickly learned in the last year, that not only have we joined a great established company, that we are also proud to sell clean, efficacious products that we can truly stand behind. We were excited last October, that our son Alex and his wife, Alexis joined our business. We now have control over our own destiny, as well as our son having the independence to master his family’s future with an incredible system and team like Nutrishop USA . We love being a part of Nutrishop USA!"

"Before taking over Nutrishop Tupelo, I was working at a furniture factory as a supervisor.  I had been with the furniture company for about 10 years and was really ready for change, so when I was asked to take over our local Nutrishop location as the manager, I was interested as I always had a passion for health and fitness. However, it turned out that I could not afford to leave my current job just to manager the store.  With that, I was then offered the opportunity to buy the store outright. I was unsure of how I could make that happen financially, but I decided to go out to California to meet with some of the staff from Nutrishop Corporate and learn more about the Nutrishop business model. After that meeting, I was all in and decided to give my notice to my current employer and move forward with purchasing the Nutrishop location.

At this point, I welcomed the challenge and was ready to turn the store turn around and take it to new heights.  It took everything I had plus some to be able to purchase the store.  I am extremely thankful to my parents who had faith in me and helped me with a loan.  I am also thankful for my supportive wife, who also had faith in me. Without them I would not have been able to do it. Thankfully, with plenty of hard work, so far the gamble has paid off.  As of this writing, we have had our store for almost 6 years now. I am so fortunate to get to go to work every day to a business that I absolutely love! I believe the biggest factor for the store’s success is due to pure hustle along with the relationships I have built with my customers. Couple that with all of the incredible products Nutrishop offers, the incredible results our customers achieve along with our guaranteed low prices, and you have a recipe for success."

"I have been with Nutrishop for over 10 years now. Running my own business is very rewarding and it’s even better knowing I have a strong, reputable brand like Nutrishop, Inc. in my corner. It’s also an incredible feeling and extremely rewarding knowing that I am helping people reach their health and fitness goals. I have never seen another company operate the way Nutrishop does, with honesty and integrity while always putting their store owners first.

I cannot emphasize enough the way that Nutrishop, Inc. truly cares. I also take comfort in knowing that Nutrishop stores carry the best dietary and nutritional supplements on the market in my opinion. Since I’ve been in business, there have been 3 other supplement retail stores open and then close because of their inability to compete with the products, pricing and service that Nutrishop stores provides their customers! I couldn't imagine trying to be in business and succeeding with any company other than Nutrishop."

"Before opening up my Nutrishop location, I was working in the corporate world fresh out of college with a degree in Business Administration. After about 2 years of sitting in an office dealing with conference calls all day long, I began to realize that this was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

I’ve always had a dream of owning my own business and while in school, I had some experience working in a retail nutrition store. After some thorough research and due diligence on my part, I decided to look into Nutrishop and their business model. I was very impressed with the Nutrishop system and quickly learned that when implementing the system correctly, it gives me as a store owner unlimited earning potential. I opened my first store in 2007 and in just a few short years, I was fortunate enough to open a second location! It’s been over a decade now and we’re still running strong! Nutrishop gives me the freedom of controlling my own destiny. I definitely made the right decision in choosing Nutrishop as a vehicle to my entrepreneurial career!"
