The Oldest Health
Food Store in Dallas
The store was originally the Plaza
Bakery, owned by our grandfather Paul
Houston Fuqua. Our grandmother, Ester,
started selling vitamins and herbs from a
corner in the shop in 1949. As a registered
nurse, it frustrated her that most of the
people she cared for in the hospital were
suffering from illnesses such as heart
disease and diabetes that are fully
preventable through good diet and exercise.
She started the Plaza Health Foods store
over 58 years ago with one goal in
mind, to put people back in charge of
their own health.
During the 70's and 80's, her son Steve Fuqua built the Plaza Health Foods into a well
known center for nutritional knowledge. His deep understanding of nutrition and the
therapuetic use of supplements and herbs brought clients from all over the world to
Dallas to consult with him. With over 150 published case histories, his legacy lives on
in the store and in our clients today.
After finishing his international career as a professional ballet dancer, Max Fuqua has
taken the helm of his family's Park Cities landmark business. Building on past success,
the store now offers a full range of biometric testing options including cholesterol
screening, hepatic detoxification profiles and allergy testing. Along with the finest
nutritional products available, clients can round out their health maintenance program
with Yoga, Pilates and Zumba classes, as well as enjoy relaxing massage from our
Registered Massage Therapist.
