Local nutrition store looking for creative partners

From the Woodland Record:

Woodland Nutrition is owned and operated by Michael O’Connor who has been a certified vitamitician since 1989. The shop has been at 424 First Street for almost ten years – it opened in late 2001. Since that time O'Connor has offered free nutritional advice to Yolo County residents, and last year he started a blog called "Nutrition Navigator." Many of those blog entries appeared as stories in the Woodland Record newspaper.

Things have changed since 2001. Not only have many of O'Connor's neighbors closed – Maritime Restaurant, J. Barth Co. heating and air, La Finca de Rivera restaurant, Morrison's Deli and Morrison's Upstairs Restaurant and Morrison's Downstairs bar – but over the past four years sales have dropped off by about 20%. This drop is probably a result of a combination of the recession and the loss of symbiotic activity in the neighborhood. Compounding those problems are his suppliers who have also tightened their belts and have restricted credit, making it difficult to stock shelves. This is puzzling since Woodland Nutrition only has a modest debt.
