FREAKING AWESOME It's a big year for BEANFREAKS which is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a series of events
O
n 1st March Beanfreaks, which has three health food centres around Cardiff, celebrated its 40th anniversary. When Beanfreaks CEO Mr Kevin Bowles and his wife Hilary first opened the doors to the public, they had little idea how much the health food industry would change, much less that 40 years later they would still have a thriving business. Beanfreaks prides itself on being a family business and the couple's children, Jeremie and Victoria, are also part of the Beanfreaks team. Jeremie is a qualified medical herbalist, and is director of Beanfreaks operations, and Victoria is a qualified nutritionist with a masters degree in complementary health. She is also Beanfreaks' technical director, overseeing all training, ensuring the staff have the most up-todate information. Kevin was inspired by the whole food movement of the 1970s, and had changed his own health pathway through diet and using
good nutritional supplements, and so was keen to develop stores that offered those opportunities for his customers. For the last 40 years Beanfreaks has been at the cutting edge of discovering and suppling new and exciting products that meet the customers' needs, and now in 2018 the team is finding that people have never been more interested in what they eat, where it comes from, and its sustainability. Beanfreaks now has three successful stores and the managers (Matthew in St Mary Street in Cardiff, Karan in Albany Road in Roath and Terezia at Cowbridge Road in Canton) all look forward to welcoming you to their stores to celebrate the brands' anniversary. Beanfreaks is kicking off the 40th anniversary celebrations with a host of in-store customerfocused events, beginning this month and running throughout the year. Event organiser and Beanfreaks Nutritionist Victoria Perks said, “In addition to the opportunity to meet the experts, product sampling and in-store anniversary savings,
the team has partnered with key suppliers to make our big birthday year a great success, with opportunities to meet the experts, sample products, and vegan cookery demonstration.” In-store activities, and competitions will run daily, from the 1st until the 31st of March in each of our three stores.
