Staff is the best in a health food store and locally owned. I only get my supplements from Staff because they have a knowledgeable staff and actually pass corporate discounts on to the customer. It’s just an overall solid store for quality food. Good produce, butcher, hot & salad bar. No reason to even have a WF here, it’s ridiculous and undermines local businesses like Staff of Life and Shopper’s Corner. Santa Cruz political leaders do nothing to support local business owners so we community members need to be diligent about giving our money to these locally owned and exceptional stores.
