DuBois' Health Food Center, Carson City's oldest wellness shop, moves to new location

Carson City's DuBois' (doo-bwah) has been serving the capital city community for nearly 60 years, providing supplements, health food, dried herbs, and wellness products to its customers.

DuBois' has long been located in its corner shop on Highway 50 E. near The Box Store, but now it has opened its new location just down Carson Street right next to the Grocery Outlet.

The new location officially opened Friday, Nov. 12 after a brief set back in opening, according to the sign posted on the shop's door.

Dubois' is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday through Saturday, and is closed on Sunday and Monday.
