Arrowhead Nutrition is a new local business that has quickly made its mark in the community over the past year. They opened their doors in May 2025 with, “a mission to bring fun, energy, and better wellness options to our community.”
Specializing in loaded teas, protein shakes, iced coffees, and healthy treats, Arrowhead Nutrition offers delicious options to help people feel like the best version of themselves! According to the business, “we love being a place where people can stop in for a quick pick-me-up, connect with others, and leave feeling great.” The team also loves to host wellness challenges to help people reach their fitness goals.
When asked about future growth, the owner shared that expansion is definitely on the horizon. In the near future, they plan to continue their Tea Drop deliveries. They also hope to host community fundraisers and eventually expand in nearby towns when the time is right.
Like many small business owners, the team at Arrowhead has faced some challenges along the way. The owner explained, “one of the biggest challenges as a new small business owner has been learning how to best serve our community and meet their needs.” She also emphasized that even those who aren’t health enthusiasts can find something that they’ll enjoy on the menu. She says that another challenge that they have faced is just getting people in the doors to try drinks and see what they are all about!
When asked what a typical day looks like, the owner shared that since the business is still growing and fairly new, they don’t yet have a large staff. She works very hard and relies on her family to keep things running smoothly. “It’s a lot of work,” she said, “but it’s really rewarding to see the business and community relationships grow.” A typical day starts early, with the team selecting their daily drink and boba flavors, posting on social media to update customers, and prepping for their morning rush!
Arrowhead Nutrition has continued to grow and thrive throughout their first year in Mackinaw. Be sure to stop by and by and try one of their nutrition options- and check out their Instagram @arrowhead_nutrition_mackinaw to see what’s new!
