A Heartfelt Farewell from Kardish

It is with deep emotion that we officially announce the closure of Kardish Health Food Centre. After 46 years of proudly serving the Ottawa community, we have completed our final chapter and are no longer operating. Our physical stores have closed permanently, and our online e-commerce website is no longer accepting orders.

To Our Incredible Community

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank every single customer who supported us throughout this remarkable journey. Whether you've been with us since our early days or discovered us more recently, you have been the heart and soul of everything we built.

During our store closing phase, we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from our community. So many of you took the time to visit us one last time, to share your personal stories about how Kardish products helped your family's health journey, and to say goodbye in person. Your kind words, heartfelt messages, and expressions of goodwill have been a tremendous source of comfort during this difficult transition, helping to ease the sadness of saying goodbye and reminding us of the meaningful connections we've made.

Our Dedicated Team

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our amazing team members who chose to stay with us until the very end. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for our customers during these final months exemplified everything that made Kardish special. Many of our staff became trusted advisors and friends to our customers over the years, and their commitment to serving our community with excellence never wavered, even in our closing days.

46 Years in Ottawa's Wellness Community

Since 1979, Kardish has been more than just a health food store – we've been Ottawa's trusted partner in natural health and wellness. We've had the privilege of introducing countless families to natural supplements, organic foods, and holistic approaches to health. From our carefully curated Kardish brand products to our knowledgeable staff who took the time to understand each customer's unique needs, we've always strived to be a place where wellness was accessible, trusted, and personal.

Looking Forward

While our stores may be closed, we hope the positive impact we've had on your health and wellness continues. We encourage you to maintain the healthy habits and natural approaches to wellness that brought you to Kardish in the first place. The relationships we've built, the trust you've placed in us, and the memories we've shared together will remain with us always.

As for what's next, we're taking time to reflect on this incredible journey and consider new ways we might contribute to our community in the future.

Thank you for being part of the Kardish family.
Thank you for 46 incredible years.

With endless gratitude and warm wishes,

Robert & Melinda Assaf
and the entire Kardish team
