About
Whether you are a new customer or one that has been frequenting Sassafras for a while, you may not be aware that Sassafras has been in operation since 1992. For the first ten years it was operating out of what is now the Nest, and was owned by a couple from Georgia. It was then purchased by Carolyn Kaden who was an employee at the time and was encouraged to purchase the store. She then moved it to the White Bear Mall where it still operates today. She sold it in 2008 and took a well-deserved retirement. Some of you may remember when it housed Linden’s pharmacy and the little cafe with the round stools at the counter, serving burgers, malts and fries, along with medications, band aids and toilet paper. Today, we are a full service Health Food Store that carries over 3500 products, although “food” isn’t our main product, many of the supplements we sell are made from whole foods.
