HEAL Wellness is celebrating a major milestone with the opening of its 30th location on Friday, December 12, inside the Toronto Eaton Centre.
To kick off the festivities, visitors can enjoy free açaí bowls all day, beats from a live DJ, and snag exclusive Healers Club tees which are available for the first 100 guests.
This marks HEAL’s first flagship mall presence, signaling an exciting new chapter for the brand. From its humble beginnings in a single Hamilton storefront, HEAL has grown into a wellness powerhouse with ambitious plans to surpass 50 locations by the end of 2026.
"This opening represents such an exciting new chapter for us," said Jesse, Co-Founder & Brand Leader of HEAL Wellness. “We started HEAL as two friends in Hamilton who wanted to make wellness more accessible — and seeing the brand take root in a space as iconic as Eaton Centre is incredibly meaningful.”
