The Natural Food Store again took a stall at Leeds Metropolitan University's annual wellbeing fair intended to encourage students to lead aealthy lives.

Some 25 members enjoyed mulled wine and festive snacks when the Natural Food Store had its Christmas late night opening on 21 December. They were joined by Martin Wainwright, Northern Editor of the Guardian, who had launched the shop under community ownership some five years ago.

The Natural Food Store recently marked five years since becoming a community-owned co-operative. As part of the celebrations members and friends enjoyed an open evening on Wednesday 24th October complete with wine, nibbles from the shop and a chance to browse.

The Natural Food Store offers its customers both specialist and everyday products. Many of our lines are cheaper than you might think and compare favourably with the major supermarkets.

The Natural Food Store has had a long and productive relationship with our fellow co-operative SUMA and this has now meant that the store manager Stuart has been able to negotiate a very good deal indeed on bulk order wholefoods.
