Nature's Way, a chain of stores selling healthfood and other health-related products, is opening its next franchise in thetown of Plainsville.

Thelocal health club has more members than ever, and the weight training and aerobicsclasses are always full. Finally, Plainsville's schoolchildren represent a newgeneration of potential customers: these schoolchildren are required toparticipate in a fitness-for-life program, which emphasizes the benefits ofregular exercise at an early age.
