The Carol Bond Health Foods Brand
Howard and Carol Bond were in a Houston shopping mall in the year 1976. At a health food store, they were intrigued by the health-related possibilities of the vitamins and supplements on the shelves. Howard had achieved a substantial background in human anatomy, and Carol had studied the effectiveness of nutritional care. Based on conversations with the representative in the health food store, both Howard and Carol began a regimen. They quickly noticed an improvement in their vitality and vigor.
The startling effectiveness of the supplements prompted the pair to plan their own distribution center. In October, 1978, Carol and Howard Bond celebrated the opening of their first store. Research had shown them the type of products adults wanted but often couldn’t get. The result was custom-formulation of private label products such as Geri-Hi, which to this day is among Carol Bond’s top five sellers. People were tired of being sick and tired, Carol Bond explains. For that matter, the typical American- is tired most of the time. Geri-Hi was conceived and prepared to combat just that problem.
