Lori’s Natural Foods Center was established in 1981 by Jim Starks and his daughter, Lori. For many years, Jim and his wife Dori had always maintained a hearty garden for themselves and their family, so when the opportunity came for Jim to take early retirement after his 31 successful years at Bausch and Lomb, he put his love and appreciation for wholesome foods into his next adventure! After searching for some time, Jim purchased a small store that originally carried one line of vitamins and a few bulk items. He saw the opportunity, and with his 19-year old daughter Lori as his partner, Lori’s Natural Foods was born!
