Raisin Rack Natural Food Market

I'm surprised there weren't a lot more people who go to Whole Foods there. They had an amazing gluten free selection as well as carob powder (chocolate substitute which whole foods did not have). Everyone was super friendly and helped me find the specialty product I came for but looked right past.

I enjoy different types of grocery stores generally. Raisin Rack has latched onto very expensive alternative foods. You can get similar foods elsewhere for much better prices. Fresh Thyme Market is nearby and is a much better option for health and alternative foods.

Eclectic selection for any health conscious foodie. There's many items and raw ingredients that I don't find stocked anywhere else in Columbus. I find myself coming here more than I need to just to support them. Raisin Rack is what Whole Foods originally pretended to be.

Racially profiled each time I shop here. It's disgusting because I've never felt so uncomfortable. The middle-aged Caucasian manager follows blacks, Somalian and people of color around the store but never other Caucasians. We come to shop there because we too can afford it and should not be followed or made to feel like thieves. I thought it was just me until I referred a friend of mine there to purchase some herbal supplements and she asked me if I too am followed. I never told her about my experience before her asking which goes to show its not just me. She said he watched her elderly mother so closely she said she wanted to leave and go elsewhere. I'll pay online prices and get my items shipped from now on. I've spent entirely too much money there to be treat this way. Just so you know, all people of color are not thieves. Many of us make more than he does and glady pay for everything we want and need. On a good note, the older cashier male with glasses is a true sweetheart, always smiling and very polite. His smile is contagious and I just love his energy. Makes cashing out after being followed around less painful.

They have a lot foods for healthy eating. Like everything else, they have a challenge to get everything they want to get. Staff was very friendly.
