>Serving the needs of health and natural product retailers in the Western United States, Natureโs Best is the largest privately owned wholesalerโdistributor of health and natural food products in the Natural Products Industry. Natureโs Best was founded in 1969 by a group of health food retailers from the Southern California area. Located in a 15,000 sq. ft. warehouse in El Segundo, California, the company distributed products on its own trucks to health food retailers from Santa Barbara to San Diego. The Lindberg family was one of the founding owners of Natureโs Best. Over the years, the Lindbergโs boughtโout the companyโs 50 other owners, and today are the sole owners of Natureโs Best. The Lindbergโs were one of the health food industryโs early pioneers. In 1949, Walter and Gladys Lindberg, along with their son Robert, opened the first Lindberg Nutrition Service retail store in Los Angeles, California. Over the next 20 years, the chain grew to 11 stores, and was regarded as the health food industryโs first โsuperstores.โ The rapid growth of the natural products industry has prompted Natureโs Best to expand its operations and delivery service area a number of times over the years. Natureโs Best has its Corporate offices in Brea, California and a 410,000 sq ft. distribution center in Chino, CA with another 310,00 sq ft. distribution center in Flower Mound, TX.
