Health food stores in Halifax

Luminate Co Wellness Market is a locally owned health food store and grocery with two stores in Halifax, Nova Scotia, one in Bedford and one in Dartmouth, both open seven days a week. We opened in Bedford in 2019 as a grocery store with a conscience, and we still pick everything on the shelves for what's in it.

Bedford or Dartmouth

Which store is closest to you?

Bedford, 486 Starboard Drive. Just off Larry Uteck Boulevard, it's the handy one for Bedford, Larry Uteck and Kingswood, and an easy drive from Hammonds Plains, Clayton Park, Lower Sackville, Fall River, Windsor Junction and Waverley. The clinic is in the same building.

Dartmouth, 590 Portland Street. On the corner of Baker Drive, on the main route between downtown Dartmouth and Cole Harbour, so it's close to Woodside, Portland Hills, Westphal and Montague, and a short drive from Burnside, Cole Harbour and Eastern Passage.

On the peninsula, or farther out? Both stores are an easy drive from downtown Halifax, and Luminate Express delivers the same day to nearly all of HRM.

Clean groceries

Real food, and produce that's always organic

Fruit, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms that are always organic, local when they're in season. The rest of the weekly shop is here too: pantry staples, snacks, bread, eggs and dairy, plant-based alternatives, frozen meals and baking supplies, with plenty of gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free options.

We pick everything for its ingredients, and we carry products from more than 100 Atlantic Canadian makers. You don't need to eat any particular way to shop here.

The supplement aisle at Luminate Co
Supplements

A supplement aisle, with staff who know it

Atlantic Canada's largest selection of natural health supplements, from more than 200 brands: vitamins and minerals, magnesium in several forms, vitamin D, omega-3s, probiotics, collagen, protein powders, electrolytes and herbal products from CanPrev, Natural Factors, Naka, AOR, New Roots and Organika.

The practitioner lines naturopathic doctors often recommend are right on the shelf too, no appointment needed: Genestra, NFH, Thorne, Cyto-Matrix and Designs for Health. Bring the name your naturopath or doctor wrote down, or just your question, and we'll help you compare labels. Look for the eight-digit NPN on the label: it's the product's licence number.

How it works

The Luminate Co clinic reception in Bedford
The clinic

A wellness clinic in the same building

Our Bedford store shares its building with the Luminate Co clinic, which has its own entrance: naturopathic medicine, physiotherapy, pelvic health physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, osteopathy, lactation consulting, somatic therapy, reiki and manual lymphatic drainage. Most services are billed directly to your insurer; for lactation consulting, we give you a receipt to submit to your insurer. A Dartmouth clinic is opening in summer 2027.

Questions we get a lot

Where are Luminate's health food stores in Halifax?

We have two, both in the Halifax Regional Municipality: 486 Starboard Drive in Bedford, just off Larry Uteck Boulevard, and 590 Portland Street in Dartmouth, on the corner of Baker Drive. Both have free parking and are open seven days a week.

Is there a Luminate health food store on the Halifax peninsula?

Not at the moment. Our stores are in Bedford and Dartmouth, both an easy drive from downtown, and Luminate Express delivers same-day to the peninsula.

Which Luminate store is closest to me?

From Bedford, Hammonds Plains, Clayton Park, Lower Sackville or Fall River, it's usually the Bedford store. From Dartmouth, Cole Harbour, Woodside or Eastern Passage, it's usually the Dartmouth store. Both have organic produce, a full supplement aisle and an all-organic bulk station, and both keep the same hours.

Are you a health food store, a supplement store or a grocery store?

All three. Plenty of people come in for vitamins and leave with dinner, or the other way around.

Is everything organic?

Our produce is always organic, and so are our bulk foods. Across the rest of the store we choose products for their ingredients; many are certified organic, but not all, so check the label if that matters to you.

Where can I buy high quality supplements in Halifax?

Luminate Co carries Atlantic Canada's largest selection of natural health supplements at our Bedford and Dartmouth stores, more than 200 brands, from trusted retail names to practitioner lines. Look for the eight-digit NPN on the label, it's the product's licence number, and ask our team on the floor if you'd like help comparing.

Are your Halifax stores open on Sundays?

Yes. Both stores are open 9 am to 6 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, and 8:30 am to 8:30 pm Monday to Friday.

Has Luminate won any local awards?

Yes, thanks to our customers. Luminate Co has been voted Platinum for Health Food Stores every year since 2021, Platinum for Health Supplements every year since 2023 and Gold for Grocery Stores in 2026 (CommunityVotes Halifax).
