Wayne and Mary’s Nutrition Center stands as a beacon of health and wellness, dedicated to promoting a holistic approach to nutrition and well-being.
The family-owned and operated business opened in 1970 by Wayne and Mary Puetz.
Wayne, who suffered from multiple sclerosis, found several dietary and natural health changes made a significant impact on his health. The couple saw a need for individuals to have access to the same opportunities to take control of their health.
A few years following the store’s opening, Wayne’s cousin, Randy Reinartz, joined the Puetzes and ended up taking full ownership of the nutrition center in the ‘90s.
Alongside Randy came his son Andrew Reinartz and daughter-in-law Rosanne.
“we’re so proud of the big, and often very small ways, we can impact our community through these relationships.”

“I joined the staff in 2017 because of my longtime interest in natural health, eventually becoming general manager,” said Rosanne, co-owner. “Andrew has worked in the family business since he was a kid.”
“From helping my older sister bag bulk food items to assembling all of the shelves to helping implement the first point-of-sale software 20 years ago, I’ve been a part of Wayne and Mary’s my whole life,” explained Andrew, who is now the business manager and co-owner.
As Andrew’s father was preparing for retirement, the couple saw this as an opportunity to step in to continue to provide nutrition service to the Sioux Falls area.
The pair wasn’t walking in blind, as their interest in nutrition and health stemmed from a personal connection. After dealing with health issues in her early 20s, Rosanne began to explore the effects certain foods had on her body.
“It took a lot of trial and error with different dietary changes, but I was able to drastically reduce my symptoms just by changing my diet and using supplements,” explained Rosanne.
She states once the opportunity to work at Wayne and Mary’s presented itself, she was ecstatic to try something new. Rosanne dove right into a nutrition education program and earned a diploma in dietary supplement science.
“I love being able to learn new things about the body and how food, herbs, and nutrients help us,” she shared.
