LONE TREE
The holidays fill the air the moment calendars turn to December. For Lone Tree, the standard is the same. But there is an added bonus to Lone Tree this holiday season.
Tree House Nutrition opened its doors on Saturday, Dec. 9, with Owners Karlee and Quincy Moorer flashing wide smiles as customers came to visit.
“We’re excited to be here,” Karlee said. “We appreciate all the support from the community. We really like small towns. We get a lot of support in Columbus Junction, so it’s nice to just actually be here [in Lone Tree].”
Tree House Nutrition is a Herbalife-based nutritional shop offering different drinks like protein coffees and energy teas. They also offer meal-replacement shakes and personal coaching with 21-day challenges.
“We’re not just a stop-by shop, we do personal coaching,” Karlee said. “We help people with their weight loss journey, their muscle gain journey, really any kind of transformation that they’re looking to do, we help.”
“[There’s] not really a number. We could change 20 to 25 people’s daily habits to make them a little bit healthier, then we did our job,” Quincy added.
The couple owns other health shops in Muscatine, West Liberty and Columbus Junction. They were looking to expand when they learned of an open space in Lone Tree.
Their products, which are packed with natural caffeine to help prevent an afternoon crash, according to Karlee, can be purchased in bulk from the Herbalife vendors and regularly purchased from the local shop now in the heart of downtown Lone Tree.
“We’re here to bring healthy options to the community. [We] give people an option to get protein,” Karlee said. “Just being able to give people more options that they’re not able to get [is satisfying].”
The couple had a smooth transition to Lone Tree, and for Karlee, the genesis of Tree House Nutrition was a “personal journey.” She started working with the products when she lived in Florida. She then moved to Wisconsin and opened a shop in Dubuque.
Karlee worked during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when people became more interested in strengthening their immune systems and improving their health. Nutrition shops have since seen more demand.
Tree House Nutrition is open M-F from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.; 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturdays, they’re open 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
