Review: I have gone to Sawall's several times, but I prefer the Natural Health Food Center on W. Main, even though it is a smaller store, because I feel more comfortable shopping there. I have been totally ignored at Sawalls more than once -- no help offered, no friendly greetings. I feel an air of indifference when I'm there -- I felt like an "outsider". I believe their prices are higher also.
 
Pros: Large, well-kept store * Good selection * Good location
Cons: Not very friendly or helpful * Didn't feel comfortable asking questions * Higher prices

Review: I love this health food store. My partner and I have been spending the weekends in Kalamazoo due to some family health issues and we sought this health food store out. We were surprized to see the diverse range of organic produce. They had young coconut for $1.69, the cheapest I've found it. Their bulk nuts are also sold at great price. This store is neat and well managed. They have a staff memeber that works specifically in the supplement department too.
 
Pros: All organic produce * large bulk section *
Cons: no juice bar * *

Review: I live right near sawalls and frequent there for everything they don't sell at meijers. They are a bit expensive so I tend to gravitate toward meijers for the essentials. They do however, have everything a vegan could want and have great customer service.
 
Pros: has everything * customer service * clean
Cons: a bit pricey * *

Review: to Whole Foods for better prices. Sawall is a decent locally owned health store, but the prices are very high. Higher than Meijer and Whole Foods Market. . .and the people who work there don't seem to like their jobs a whole lot. . .they don't have a very friendly feel about them. . .I felt very uncomfortable while there.
 
Pros: locally owned * *
Cons: unbelievably expensive * uncomfortable *

• I disagree with the idea that Sawalls is THAT overpriced. I mean, its a health food store so its gonna be a little pricey, and it's locally owned and small so again the price is affected. Nothing against whole foods, but it has become huge and with that hugeness can offer lower prices but at the same time creates the same problems of not supporting local businesses. Then again, if someone is willing to drive 2 hours for groceries... ;). response by JPOrchanian
