New shop opens in Manchester

Terri Stewart, owner of CBD NOW in the Shoppes at Alber Mill, would love to talk to you about the amazing properties of CBD products.

It’s been less than a year since Terri Stewart started learning about the benefits of CBD oil, but in that short length of time, it has become a passion for her.

“I have always appreciated natural, organic options for symptom relief,” she says. “I chose to open stores selling pure, organic CBD oil and CBD products, because so much of the CBD available to us is not pure, even if the bottle says so.”

A resident of the Devils Lake area, she owns a store on Main Street in Brooklyn, and last month opened a new shop, CBD NOW, on the main level in the Shoppes of Alber Mill.

“I love the building and its history,” she says when asked why she chose to open her business here in Manchester at the mill. “And I love the folks in Manchester.”

She says that even though CBD is not considered or promoted as a “cure” for anything, she has heard a plethora of remarkable stories about people finding symptom relief from using CBD products. A long list of health issues that could be helped by the use of CBD products is prominently displayed in the shop.

“I have learned so much over the past year,” she says. “And I keep learning new things all the time. In order to help people with these products, I listen to them, and then I work to educate them about how it can work for them.”

Stewart has traveled to several states doing trade shows and finding other ways to build her business and educate more people about the benefits of CBD. She stresses that her product, HempWorx, is made from pure hemp oil and CBD, and is one of only 13 certified brands in the world. And although the hemp and marijuana plants are similar, they are not the same! She stresses that people don’t always understand the differences and she’s happy to educate you on this topic.

There are 11 Hemp-Derived CBD products in the HempWorx brand, including tinctures, topicals, and pet products which all utilize CO2 extracted hemp oil grown on an FDA compliant farm in Kentucky. The product is pure, organic, has third party-documented testing, and a 60-day money back empty bottle guarantee.

In addition to the CBD products mentioned above, CBD NOW also carries sage, quartz, charcoal, chakra diffuser bracelets, bath bombs, and more. She also offers a free gift with purchase! Currently, the shoppe is open Monday-Friday 11 am to 6 pm, Saturday 9am to 5 pm, and Sunday noon to 5pm. This is subject to change, however, as she finds out what works best for her clients. Stewart is also always available by appointment; just call or text her at 517-260-3049.
