What’s New? – The VItamin Shoppe of Auburn Hills
We caught up with Sara Knick, Store Manager at the Vitamin Shoppe in Auburn Hills, to hear about three of the top trending supplement categories in 2025. Health trends will come and go, but you can always count on Sara and her team to support you with your health and wellness goals!
What’s New? – Fired & Fused
Helen Agius-Andreae and her husband Frank accidentally found their passion in fused glass. Now, years later, they own a shop in Farmington that sells beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces as well as offers workshops where you can build your own creation. More than a glass studio, Fired and Fused is part of the community. Helen and Frank need their neighbors’ help to make an art installation at a local park possible. Stop in, try something new, and leave a lasting impression on your community.
What’s New? – Mrs. Mason’s Co.
Margi Mason, owner of Mrs. Mason’s Co., has opened her seasonal business, with brittles and bon bons available online and for local delivery. The company, based in Royal Oak, offers beautifully packaged brittles finished with chocolate, nuts and dried fruit – an addition Mrs. Mason’s was the first in the country to combine with brittle. New or revived flavors this year include red, white and blue with nuts on top, apple crisp and black mac. Order by Dec. 19 to receive items by Christmas.
