Once Upon A Time……
When John & Cherrie purchased N° 7 St. John Street in 1986, their aim was to offer excellent customer service and sell high quality products at a good price. With hard work and determination, they succeeded in their mission and created two wonderful shops, (N° 7 Wholefoods & N° 16 Natural Remedies) opposite one an other, on St. John Street, Perth.
Their son, Darren, started working alongside his parents in 1998 which many years later allowed John & Cherrie to retire, leaving the business and it’s bright future in Darren’s hand.
