Dixie Nutrition

Dixie Nutrition opened its first St. George store on May 14, 1969 — when the city's population was under 10,000 and the natural foods category barely existed outside California. The store's own history credits "Grandma G" as the inspiration: a family making a community investment rather than a commercial calculation. Fifty-seven years later, the Gillespie family still owns the operation — third-generation family owned — with four locations carrying the name.

St. George is at 250 Red Cliffs Drive, Suite 1. Hurricane is at 57 Main Street. Cedar City is at 111 W 535 S. A fourth location in Mesquite, Nevada extends the footprint. The product mix spans vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements, bulk herbs, essential oils, tinctures, organic teas, natural and gluten-free foods. It is a deep-specialty natural products store, not a full-service grocery — the kind that has served as regional food infrastructure across Southern Utah's multi-county footprint longer than any other natural foods operator in the area.
