Wayne & Mary’s Nutrition Center a pillar of health & wellness
Wayne and Mary’s Nutrition Center stands as a beacon of health and wellness, dedicated to promoting a holistic approach to nutrition and well-being.
The family-owned and operated business opened in 1970 by Wayne and Mary Puetz .
Wayne, who suffered from multiple sclerosis, found several dietary and natural health changes made a significant impact on his health. The couple saw a need for individuals to have access to the same opportunities to take control of their health. A few years following the store's opening, Wayne’s cousin, Randy Reinartz , joined the Puetzes and ended up taking full ownership of the nutrition center in the ‘90s.
Alongside Randy came his son Andrew Reinartz and daughter-in-law Rosanne .
“I joined the staff in 2017 because of my longtime interest in natural health, eventually becoming general manager,” said Rosanne, co-owner. “Andrew has worked in the family business since he was a kid.” “From helping my older sister bag bulk food items to assembling all of the shelves to helping implement the first point-of-sale software 20 years ago, I’ve been a part of Wayne and Mary’s my whole life,” explained Andrew, who is now the business manager and co-owner.
