For Goodness Sake Natural Food is celebrating 50 years of business in New Braunfels.
The store was recognized at a New Braunfels Chamber ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sept. 16 to commemorate the milestone.
Meet the owners
The natural foods grocer at 1306 E. Common St #101 is owned and operated by sisters Shannon Hanz and Lauren Krock.
Their mother, Beverly, started the business in 1976 and the sisters took over to carry on the family legacy, Krock told Community Impact.
Krock said that she has enjoyed seeing the business evolve over the years and how "it's not just a fad to be healthy" now.
"It's nice to see how the town has grown and continues to support us," Krock said. "We appreciate people supporting small family-owned businesses."
