Established in 2007 by two brothers; Sean Gomes, a medical doctor and Carlos Gomes, a retail pioneer, the Wellness Warehouse has grown into one of South Africa's largest wellness retailers, with over 25 stores in Gauteng and the Western Cape as well as an online shopping store.

"The wellness revolution is not a fad or a trend; it’s a way of existing in the world that permeates every aspect of our lifestyle. It influences the way we eat, exercise, sleep, work, age, and think," says Gomes.

"We spend our time passionately staying up to date with the latest trends, information, and product ranges so our customers can shop safely knowing that we’ve done all the hard work beforehand checking the labels and sourcing healthy, sustainable products. Further to this, each of our stores has qualified in-store practitioners available, ranging from naturopaths to nutritionists, to help our customers make the right choices," he adds.

In the aisles, shoppers can pick up products that cater to the different elements related to health and wellness. From specialist nutrition, exclusion eating, superfoods, veganism, paleo, banting, gluten, dairy, and sugar-free options to eco-friendly cleaning, natural supplements, and healing, as well as natural skin and body care (such as yoga and fitness), the group covers all aspects of living well.

"The Wellness Warehouse is passionate about making it possible to live life well, and is more than just an everyday health shop, but rather a destination, an experience, and lifestyle," says Gomes.

Over the years, another key offering added is the Wellness Café’s. Shoppers can now sample the healthy eating lifestyle that the ‘on-shelf’ products point them towards.

"We are extremely thankful for the growth over the past ten years. When looking back, and thinking of all the new store openings, launching the Wellness Magazine, establishing a thriving e-commerce store, and seeing how far we’ve come, I feel overwhelmed at the amazing achievement and success Wellness Warehouse has made in ten years of business and look forward to what is yet to come," concludes Gomes.
