The Vitamin Shoppe

This is my favorite place to shop for supplements. The store is very well kept & organized. Their staff is always welcoming and helpful. The last few times I’ve been in there a young man named Jacob has helped me. He’s very well spoken and informative. As long as I live out this way I will continue to shop here.

Rolled in a few weeks ago looking to replenish some of my vitamins. A tall, athletic looking gentleman was on point and took me around the shop and pointed out everything I needed. I was impressed given that I can go online, read some sites or reviews, and I am almost certain get some sort of discount.
I thought about going online this time around when my multi’s ran out. I was in the area and given the exceptional customer service I had previously received, thought I would visit the shoppe again.
I walked in and this time it was a female who initially greeted and assisted me. She asked what I was looking for and I told her multi vitamins. She held out her hands and gave me a quirky look as they were right behind me. My bad. Given the response, I did not ask nor was I asked specifically what I was looking for. Thoughts of retreating back to the comfort of the internet flooded my mind, as I did a 180 to search through the immense selection.
F*&^ that! Like I previously stated… I can research and purchase at home. I decided to seek the advise of the same vitamin specialist that helped me the last time. I told him what I was looking for and he scanned the rows. He offered up his recommendation and I purchased.
Had this been a first time experience, I would have dropped a two star. Given the previous experience, I did an average. Maybe I will be back or maybe I will seek out the many different options I have available in cyber space.

I love this place. The staff is so friendly and helpful which really makes me a loyal customer. No matter what I need, they always know exactly where it is. They offer help without being pushy. For supplements, I always do my own research, so I have no idea how knowledgeable the staff is regarding supps. If they don’t know everything about all of the supps, I don’t mind because I don’t ask them. They have great deals on a lot of stuff and good input on flavors of protein bars and other edibles (Lenny and Larry’s Complete cookies: best ever, haha).

I needed to stock up on some protein and recovery drinks while visiting Vegas and they didn’t disappoint.
This and all other Vitamin Shoppes have had what I needed as far a protein and recovery products.
This store is smaller but should have most of what people are looking for.
Definitely a place I will go to if I am visiting the area again.

First off, I will say that the staff here is very friendly and eager to help. There is really no issues with service. I just wish they were more knowledgeable about vitamins and herbs. Make sure you do your own research if you plan on starting a new supplement. Store is pretty clean. My issue with them is when it comes to baby probiotics. My wife and I purchased a bottle of powdered probiotics from the fridge section for our 6 month old. We are usually good at checking dates on things, but for some reason failed to check the date on the probiotics. We did not notice until the bottle was empty, that it expired in December of 2013. We bought it in Feb of 2014. We went back there to return the other unopened bottled that was also expired. We went to the fridge only to notice that ALL of the baby probiotics were expired. They do not rotate, which is not cool, especially when it comes to baby products. They told us that a new order will come in later that week. We checked back, and still no order. It is now the end of March, and there is still no new probiotics. It’s really frustrating because I was so happy that this location opened up as it is close to home. From now on, I will have to drive out of my way to the one in Summerlin. They are usually well stocked and rotate their products.

The Vitamin Shoppe is purely a supplement store. It’s more of a cleaner, brighter GNC that focuses more on health and well-​being.
As a plus, their loyalty card is FREE!!!
Unfortunately, they do not really have a large stock of the more popular supplements, which is probably why people pass this place by.
Also, their prices are usually reasonable and comparable to Walmart, especially during their sale seasons, which are great because you save a ton!
The isles are really organized, but it’s still pretty hard to find items without help.
Bottom line, whenever you go to a store like this:
1. Do your research
2. Know what you’re looking for
3. Stay healthy!!!
If this Vitamin Shoppe sold cheaper, more desirable items, it could be the star of the plaza!!!
