I can't see the current inventory, space arrangement resulting in profit . Not enough items , not easily read , too many categories . Food , drinks , dessert i.e. Supermarket , restaurant , wifi cafe , meeting , bar, health , bath , signs need to be larger ,mpeople don't like to move On Wednesday, August 10, 2016, Ken Jordan <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Jeffrey, It was great to show you The Alchemist's Kitchen on Monday, and share how we see things developing in the area of "environmental medicine." Our approach is indeed retail oriented, as you mentioned. But for us, retail offers a strategic approach for entering a much larger space. There's now a paradigm shift in how people experience their health in relationship to plants and the planet. Approaching this through retail, both in physical space and online, gives us a way to meet people where they are at today, and enables us to gauge how best to move them ahead on the "environmental medicine" path. In parallel to what we're doing in the store, we're seeing more practitioners, like Bear, who are proscribing herbal remedies to their patients. And more scientific research into the efficacy of whole plant remedies for health and wellness. This shift is largely cultural, inspired by a change in perspective about how people choose to live a meaningful life. Education and community are a big part of it. That's why at Evolver we give so much attention to workshops, events, online learning and publishing. The mainstreaming of psychedelics and the legalization of cannabis are also key parts of this overall trend. If= like to explore this territory more deeply, I could bring together some interesting people for you to speak with.
