Lucy’s Health Foods specializes in organic foods, supplements, vitamins, food allergies, sports nutrition, gluten free foods and more. Her organic foods include meat, dairy and canned goods. Gluten free dairy items such as soy ice cream, cream cheese and sour cream are big sellers. Lucy Ramos has always wanted to help people and her health food business satisfies that need.
Ramos’s introduction to the health food business came from a friend who worked at Living Foods. Ramos got a part-time job there and using knowledge from her degree in Business Administration, she began doing inventory and organizing the business. After her efforts resulted in the store doubling in size in less than a year, the owner offered her a partnership. She moved into management full-time and ran the second location. When her partner retired and sold Living Foods on Perkins Road, Ramos renamed the Highland Road store, Lucy’s Health Foods.
