Summary/services offered: On the retail side, we sell functional drinks like mushroom coffee, elixirs and healthier energy drink alternatives. We also carry nonalcoholic spirits, wines, beer and mocktails. The Social Club aspect hosts free events regularly such as hikes, game night and book club. We also throw paid events like magic shows, vision boarding, and sip & paints.

How does your work differ from others in your profession? We consider ourselves a supplier of options. What makes us most special is we do everything in the absence of alcohol, gambling and children and are focused on mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellness. We are one of less than 75 stores like this in the entire country.

What should a client expect from working with you? Guests can expect a curated fun experience, whether it is to find drinks that are an amazing fit for their health goals or an evening out for some sober socialization and community.

How is your business evolving in the coming year? We will be launching a subscription box that can be delivered across the state. We also will be continuing to add a variety of inventory as we grow and get guest insights of what they are looking for.

What is most important for Natural Awakenings’ readers to know? You have a choice! You can choose what you drink, what you put into your body, who you want to socialize with and what kind of activities you want to participate in! Even if it’s not 3-21 No Kiddin’ related, we love you and are rooting for you and your best life!
