Elliott’s Fine Nutrition

Would never step foot in one of these stores because of the owner, so unbelievably rude, what a miserable person.

Elliott’s prides themselves on being a family owned business. I’ve heard your radio ads Carsone. I can’t believe you would lay off one of your Loyal employees, who worked there a quarter of a century. He was always so helpful and knowledgeable about Nutritional supplements. Because of that, I will never shop there again and I’m going to tell all my friends to do the same and I have a lot of friends. You should be ashamed of yourselves. & you pride yourself on family… shame on you and shame on the Elliotts.

Nice selection of nutritional items, but a lot of common things you would find at sprouts or whole foods are very overpriced here. They have 50 cent clearance avocados that are super rotted and should be thrown in the trash.

So this location is just down the street from Sprouts on the same side of the street, next to the Quick Quack. This store has some kind of different ownership & its not included in their store list, not sure why. Its a nice bright store, full front windows so you can find what you’re looking for. They carry HABA products, vitamins/​supplements, food & cold items. They have several popular vitamin lines so nice to be able to compare ingredients & prices. Something always seems to be on sale so check by regularly. The ladies are nice & prices decent, not the cheapest but not the most expensive.

I really like this company but this location leaves a lot to be desired. The prices are way to high and the staff is incredibly unhelpful and unfriendly. I occasionally get someone who is really nice and helpful but they are usually gone by my next visit, yet the staff who just stink at their job seem to remain. Thank goodness for the internet and Vitamin Shoppe to get the supplements that I need.

Nice staff and very helpful! Only downside is the EXPENSIVE prices of the items in the store :(

Interesting trip here for our first time. The staff was very overly friendly. I know that sounds weird, I mean, it’s nice to have a friendly staff, right? But it was the borderline annoying/​creepy kind. The woman kept asking us if we needed help and we kept replying no thanks. She also just talked the entire time. Its Sunday morning people let’s keep the shenanigans down for a bit until the coffee kicks in. The prices were surprisingly high as well. I do like the large selection of organics and natural skin care products and the numerous aisles of vitamins, etc. We will probably stick with a nutrishop style place from now on though.

Knowledgeable peeps & never a shortage on homeopathic remedies so I cam be naturally healthy. Love this place!

Great selection of natural skin products and foods. They always have what I need and all of the staff are extremely helpful.

Love to have a place like this near my mom’s house. A small selection of groceries. A huge selection of health supplements/​vitamins. The people who work there are Always friendly and usually quite helpful! :) I don’t think I’ve evwr been in there without having at least a small conversation with someone who worked there… they are veey easy to talk to.

I went to the Elliott’s on Greenback, walked in and the two employees in the front, ignored me, no welcome to Elliott’s or any welcome at all, they were too busy talking among themselves, and I have never been to this location, thought ok I will look on my own, so I walked the aisles looking for cereal and at no time was I ever asked if I was looking for a particular item, I did see two employees talking among themselves in the back of the store, and three employees in the refrigerate area also talking or messing around, but I was never approached, even when I was in the rear of the store near the bathrooms, one of the women from the front, looked at me and then walked by, as if I wasn’t even there. I did find the cereal I was looking for after about 30 mins of scourging the store and on check out, one of the girls that was talking to her co worker in the back about what she was going to do on her day off, came back up front to check me out, only because a anther customer had pulled her away from her conversation. The store isn’t big enough for conversations to be heard but the customer service or lack there of, really makes me never to go back to this store. I was going to give the store a 2 star but realized that in this economy, good customer service makes or breaks a store and return customers are a must but if you have no or poor customer service, then your customers aren’t going to come back. I think i will either wait and visit the Blue Oaks store, which has superb customer service and gives you a feeling of being a special customer when walking thru their doors or going to Sunrise Natural Foods on Douglas which also has great customer service.

I never seem to find anything here. I love natural, healthy foods-​but for reasonable prices. The prices here are insane for things you can get much cheaper at Sprouts (just a couple parking lots down the road). To make matters worse the employees are rude and quite convinced they are a million times better than you. I always dread having to check out here, to the point that I doubt I will return again.

After shopping the greenback Elliott’s for soem time, I found myself in Folsom and thought I’d check out the store there. Like the other store I frequent, the lady beghind the counter was smart, I asked her a few questions about immune boosters and she talked about wheat she reccomended, what works, what doesnt, and talked about healthy foods that can also boost your immune system. Very kind, which you also don’t see often enough at retail stores, I felt like I should be paying for a consultation!
Great store, very good advice, service and products.

This place is pretty good!
I came here to get a few things to make some stuff for my herbalism, and they had just about everything I needed! I would have liked some fresh herbs instead of dried ones, but for the most part it was a good experience. Everyone was very friendly and useful, which i very much appreciate, and I since then have come back several times. There is a Sprouts that just opened up down the street, so its important to me to come here more often so we can protect some of the smaller run operations like Elliott’s.
Thanks guys!

worst natural foods store ever. RUDE RUDE RUDE employees. i will never go back

I went into Elliott’s expecting a large assortment of fruits/​veggies and found them just in one small corner of the store. The majority of the store has bottles, books, some frozen items. My expectations were for more the fresh and not so much of the — «I can buy at Whole foods or GNC for a similar price shock».
The clerks were helpful and for the 20 minutes or so that I looked about — the store was not busy at all.

Stopped in to get some supplements my doctor suggested. The clerks are very helpful and were more than knowledgeable in their information about supplements, vitamins and organic products.
There are organic foods, including a large selection of bins with grains and dried fruits, nuts etc.
This place is tucked in a strip-​mall behind Play It Again Sports, and is a busy place.

I thoroughly concur with the other Unilocalers on the lack of customer service skills at this store. It’s one thing that the bulk of the inventory is overpriced, but it’s quite ANOTHER when I buy your overpriced products and you treat me and my mother like cow manure.
This has been a recurring issue on a sliding scale, with the last visit making a vertical leap into nasty territory. While we were checking out, the male cashier didn’t want to bag our groceries. If looks could kill, the look we got when requesting this *basic* service would’ve decapitated us on the spot. This guy had an air of pomposity and at the same time had a hostile stance. He withheld our receipt, which prompted my mother to go back into the store, where he so very smugly gave it to her.
You would think that a store that promotes a healthy lifestyle would have friendly employees. Since that is not the case, Elliott’s has lost my family’s business.

Your horrible employees failed to earn you a new customer, Elliott.
My girlfriend and I went here after I purchased a Living Social deal that got us $ 50 worth of goodies for $ 25. Upon arriving, my girlfriend and I realized that the only re-​usable bags we had in the trunk were from Whole Foods, but we figured that these would be better than nothing, and that our transgression would be overlooked by any reasonable checker –more on this later though.
Problem 1: when we walked in, even though the store is about the size of a large shoebox and the registers are right by the doors, we weren’t greeted or even acknowledged. Not only that, but we couldn’t grab a basked without first moving the belongings of one of the employees out of the topmost basket.
Problem 2: Their selection isn’t great and the prices are in the stratosphere for most of it. The same stuff can not only be had for less at larger grocery stores, but can also be found for less at a certain competing natural food store in the area and for FAR FAR less from the source in some cases at farmers markets. Case in point: I bought a jar of honey from Elliott’s at about a 30% mark up compared with the same honey at Denio’s AFTER the producer had already marked it up for their own retail needs. $ 50 worth of goods filled up a hand basket about ¾ of the way full.
Problem 3: Sure sure, it was definitely bad form on our part to bring a bag from one of Elliott’s competitors into the store, but this was an opportunity for a savvy employee to win us over from the evil giant with the sort of superior and intimate customer service that can only be found at the small guys. So what did our cashier do? He removed the bag from our basket, handed them to us and said smugly, «I’ll let you guys keep those.» and proceeded to ring us up without saying anything else. After that, he didn’t lift a finger to bag a single item for us, after I watched the checker on the register behind us bagging up a purchase for her customer. I’m sorry, but if I’m paying as much as I did for as little as I got, I sure as hell don’t want to bag it myself. I expect Winco quality service at Winco, not at someplace like Elliott’s.
We won’t be back.

The place is super small but it’s a «natural» food store so maybe natural food isn’t deserving of a big establishment (note sarcasm here).
I am on a new health trip and was suggested by a friend to come here and buy some items to aid in my quest to be a healthier me.
I went in the other day with a list and looked around forever for this supplement my friend suggested. Finally the cashier asked if I needed help and I asked her to point me in the right direction. She did in no time but not before she made it a point to make me feel semi stupid for not knowing in the long ass aisle of supplements where this specific one would be. Like «oh yeah this is the section for those specific plant extracts». Thanks I appreciate that.
She was just very pretentious. Didn’t bag my items and sorta looked high on … Maybe life idk but she was weird.
I’ll come back again to see if I have a different experience.
I woulda given 3 stars but ey I’m the Unilocaler.
