The uniqueness in the Nutrition
House success story traces back
to their beginnings in 1979.
Having immigrated to Canada
from Argentina with a business
background,

Amelia Dominguez saw an
opportu rity to retail products
that would helt: people lead a
healthier life. She opened the
first store in a small shopping
centre in Scarborough, Ontario,
which was a unique concept at
the time. From these humble
beginnings and the resulting
struggles that breed success,
Nutrition House has grown to
over 40 stores in Canada and
are poised to reach 60 stores
by year end.

Amelia is a true business
visionary. After a number of
years operating one store, it
ecame apparent that
competition would be strong.
The decis.on to grow and be a
leader in the industry was

there is a lat that people can do
for themselves and their health,
but don't mistake advice for
prescriptive remedies. Rather,
see it as he pful information
that, when used with the advice
of heaith care professionals, can

made. Soon, her son Aldo and
daughter Lilian had put their
efforts into Amelia’s vision and
an aggressive campaign was
launched to open 3 to 4 stores
er year. {tis still very much a
amily business to this day.

At 77 years of age, Amelia, still,
works at the Eaton Centre,
Toronto location. Lilian is
responsible for the warm and
inviting look of every store.
You can sense the passion of
her work in every aspect of the
store, from interesting displays
and colour schemes to the
Spanish music ruminatin
throughout the store. Aldo
works to ensure that each
franchise is opened smoothly,
attending to such details as
leasing new premises and
ensuring the right product mix
is available. 1n°1996, the
company underwent a
reorganization that saw
Amelia’s son-in-law, Wayne
Parent become President.
“Since then the co mpany has
experienced tremendous
growth. Wayne is a born
strategist” says Aldo, now
Franchise Director. “We all
concentrate on what we do
best. Improve. Improve.
Improve. We never forget our
humble beginnin Js and we are
always accessible.”

Really!

decision for your situation.
