Shafas Herbal

You can find us at 133 Commercial Street. If you’ve ever been to this street, you know how packed it gets with shoppers and vendors. Our shop is right in the middle of all that energy. Shafas Herbal is a place where we keep all sorts of traditional and herbal items. The smell of herbs and oils is the first thing you notice when you walk in. We spend a lot of time weighing out products and putting them into small bags or jars. It’s a very hands-on kind of business. The shelves are packed from floor to ceiling because the shop isn't that big. We have to be clever with how we use the space. Customers are always coming in asking questions about different roots or powders, and we do our best to find what they are looking for. It gets really hot in the summer with so many people on the street, so we keep the door open to catch whatever breeze there is. It’s a busy life on Commercial Street, and we’ve been part of it for a long time. We don't do any big advertising; the shop window usually does the talking for us. It’s just us here, working the counter and helping whoever walks in from the crowd outside. It is usually a bit chaotic but we are used to the noise and the pace.
