Georgetown-based Sanctuary Holistic Kitchen is expanding its partnership with Lark & Owl Booksellers this month.
The overview
Over the summer, Sanctuary Holistic Kitchen began managing Alouette Bistro, located inside Lark & Owl. Now, the business is relocating its retail shop to the bookstore as well.
Once permitting is complete, the new Sanctuary Holistic Kitchen location will include both the bistro and retail space.
About the business
Owned by integrative health counselor Robin Cervantes, Sanctuary Holistic Kitchen offers a host of products, including grab-and-go meals, apothecary and herbal remedies, bulk herbs, skin care, and natural health products.
The business moved into its current location at 103 N. Austin Ave., Ste. 310, Georgetown, in March 2021. That space houses a top allergen-free kitchen and baking and cooking workshops.
What they're saying
In an email, a representative with Sanctuary Holistic Kitchen said the move was "serendipitous timing" as Lark & Owl was looking for someone to manage the bistro and the health and wellness business had outgrown its existing space.
Additionally, the partnership allows the bistro to offer a full menu.
Having the two local Georgetown businesses under one roof will help them to better weather the hurdles of being a small business and reach new customers, the representative said.
One more thing
Sanctuary Holistic Kitchen is planning a soft opening event March 21 at Lark & Owl with a seed exchange, detox class and drop-in craft bar.
