The concept will offer an exclusive range of high-quality vitamins, minerals, health supplements, specialist foods, and natural beauty products.

According to the statement, “An extension of Spinneys’ ‘Eat Well, Live Well’ philosophy, ethical sourcing will guide all merchandising, bringing to customers naturally-derived products and ingredients that are both good for them and the planet.”
