Just one day prior to the reopening of her nutrition store on Piney Forest Road after a year-long shutdown during the pandemic, owner Tia Macklin was awarded a grant to help fund a second location of The Ramp Nutrition, one that would continue the mission of creating a healthier, happier Danville.
Macklin was chosen as one of three of the River District Associationâs Dream Launch Pitch Competition winners, receiving $15,000 for the location.
âThis is a great location, but Iâm missing an entire market by not being on the other side of town,â Macklin said. âI want something small that will be close to the trail so we can cater to the fitness community. We want to do walk-a-thons and boot camps so I thought that would be the perfect location.â
