Grand launch for new Harrogate 'seed-to-shelf' shop which grows its own crops
The owners of a remarkable new family-owned Harrogate shop which grows its own crops say the launch was a “natural progression” after hosting a store opening party for customers.
Located next to Harrogate Theatre on Oxford Street, HempWell is Phil and Lisa James’s third UK retail store.
Based out of the Science Park on the University of York campus, the owners have seen huge success with their seed-to-shelf CBD products and have made the step to expand and open a shop in Harrogate following the success of their other retail stores in York and Brighton.
Speaking after guests at the opening party were treated to a talk on the benefits of CBD by HempWell’s Scientific Advisor, Professor Mike Barnes, co-owner Phillip James said: “Opening our new Harrogate shop was a natural progression for us.
“We already have many customers who come from Harrogate and visit the York store, so it made perfect sense for us to open there.
"Customers really do appreciate coming into a real store and getting accurate information from our brilliant consultancy team.”
A unique CBD business in the UK, every bottle and jar that leaves Hempwell’s facilities begins with their own crops.
The company grows its hemp in Sicily and Bulgaria, harvests it, and produces all its CBD oils and creams at their two production laboratories in York Science Park.
This full-circle production means Hempwell’s team knows every stage of its process, from the first seed planted to the final label applied.
In addition to CBD products, the Harrogate store will also offer a range of popular vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements.
It will also soon have a treatment area where customers can book reflexology sessions to use their favourite CBD products such as HempWell’s massage oils, topical creams and muscle balms.
CBD, also known as Cannabidiol, is an extract from the hemp plant that is widely used to help with joint and muscle pain, anxiety and sleep issues.
CBD is legal in the UK and HempWell are registered as an authorised CBD manufacturer and retailer with the Food Standards Agency.
