The Natural Foods Plus store and its "Juice Caboose" smoothie shop and juice bar that we first told you about in July when it was in the development stage is now open in Kettering, and it will host a grand opening this weekend, Feb. 1-2.
The 2,000-square-foot store is located at 3070 Far Hills Ave. (Ohio 48) just south of Dorothy Lane, in a strip retail center that also houses Big Sky Bread bakery. The space previously housed a Click Camera (later Dodd Camera) store, but has been vacant for a few years. Natural Foods Plus has operated a store at 2901 Philadelphia Drive at Siebenthaler Avenue in Dayton for more than two decades.
