I spent time chatting to owner, Lynda Bryant Mutsaerts, about the history of the store and their plans for the future. Lynda bought the store in 2005, then branded as National Road Pharmacy, which was established in 1959. They worked with local agency, Outlook Orange, and completely overhauled their brand and image and relaunched as Thrive in 2016. Firstly, I love their store design. You\u2019re immediately wowed when you walk into the space at the vast pitch of the exposed beam roof which gives the space such a light, airy feel with a modern, scandi edge. On one side is the pharmacy and on the other a curated gift store and coffee shop\/juice kitchen. Lynda showed me around and I delighted in seeing all the local brands in the gift store, sourced from around SA. Local and international skin care brands, cook books and more are also available \u2013 this is definitely the place to pop in to if you\u2019re looking for a gift.\u00a0 Secondly, I love that the store is owner run and managed.
