i like shopping at sunrise for a few small things i can’t find elsewhere. they also have good sales. in general the store is too expensive, which i can understand for some unique items but why is something common at other stores $3 more here? make it make sense
I generally expect some Mark-up on Organic / Vegan (healthy) stores. They take it to extremes here. Items you can find in chain stores are double and triple here. They were higher than any of the similar stores I have shopped in Springfield, Bloomington, or Urbana. They do have a pretty large selection (including a few Vegan items I have not seen elsewhere), but overall they are just too high.
I get certain products at Naturally Yours that I can't find anywhere else (Wayfare vegan cheese, etc) They have a nice variety of vegan foods in store and the deli offers vegetarian and vegan options. However they can be pretty expensive. It was almost $7 for a grilled cheese, and last time they gave me dairy cheese when I clearly said to use tofutti vegan cheese (which is an option) They even took a note of it, and then forgot. Anyway overall it's a nice store and I appreciate the variety and organic food. The deli area could use some improvement.

I eat at Naturally Yours Deli at least once a week. I enjoy their homemade soups and sandwiches. It is always a friendly place to go. They always treat me as a friend and are always anxious to help. The store is a real life saver for me as we have celiac disease in our family and they are always looking for new products to help my family.
The store also carries the best selection of supplements I have ever seen in a health food store. The employees are always very helpful and I really appreciate the care they give me.
I also really appreciate the hundreds of items they offer in the bulk display. It saves me a lot of money and offers me a great alternative to buying only packaged product.
I have shopped at the store for over 12 years and have watched them grow and expand. They have suffered growing pains but certainly are the best in Peoria. The management staff has always been more than helpful to me in finding products that I am searching for.
I think there is potential there, but they need to put in some extra effort. I feel like nobody ever shops there. Products look like they aren't very fresh, bulk bins not kept up well. I bought a soy ice cream sandwich that was really freezer burnt. The staff wasn't very friendly or helpful. I tend to find better prices and selection at the local grocery store.
I was disappointed. It wasn't like their commercial at all. I found this store to be extremely expensive, more than other non-chain health food stores. Also, they were selling expired products. I pointed out a frozen item that I noticed was months passed the expiration date, thinking I was doing them a favor but the cashier stumbled over telling me that it had been marked wrong by the company and I could talk to the manager if I wanted. I said "that's okay I wasn't buying it anyway" I felt bad for her that she was obviously put in an awkward position of lying to the customers by the management.
