Pro Shop Nutrition owner David Park said his business does not make money. The only money this business makes is to regenerate its own products, he said. Park, who has been in the business since 1997, said he has a job teaching the driving-under-the-influence program in Ridgecrest and Mojave, and his wife works for the Sierra Sands Unified School District. This business is put together so people in Ridgecrest dont have to leave to get products from high-priced stores, he said. The business carries weight-loss products, body-building products as well as health and nutrition products for mind and body. You have to work with the whole body, Park said. People want to trim fat or add beef, but its much more than that. He said he can put diet plans together for people who want to lose weight. Asked how the store regenerates its own product, Park said the store sells its own product with enough profit to buy its own product. I have yet to take a paycheck, and Ive been open since December, he said. I dont take money from the store. My wife doesnt take money from the store. Pro Shop Nutrition carries brand names such as BSN, Muscle Tech, Optimum Nutrition, Muscle Pharm, Cellucor, USP Labs and Now. Park said his daughter, Monica, has been in Ridgecrest since third grade. Ive been here every summer and every weekend all my life, he said. When I became an adult, I came to Ridgecrest. I consider myself a Ridgecrest person. This store was put together for Ridgecrest people. He said the business is family-owned and operated, and it is not a franchise. We take a lot of pride in being able to help people, said Park. For example if someone came into my store looking for a specific product that they got out of town and they liked it, we have a suggestion box. We do special orders all the time. The business is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 760-375-8663, and the business accepts Visa and Mastercard. Were truly here to help people achieve their goals, he said. If a person sees something on the shelf when they walk into my store, I always ask them, What are you looking to do not What are you looking for, and I try to match that product with their goal.
