The heritage of Clark's Nutrition & Natural Foods Market can be traced to the early days of ‘mom and pop’ health food stores. Jim Clark, the company's founder, purchased the first Downtown Riverside location in 1972.

In those early days, the public often thought of health food stores as a source for date shakes, carrot juice and hippies.

As the store began to take flight, Jim, who was gifted in public relations, could be found each day at the counter, drinking coffee and greeting customers with a smile.
