Ever since Rise took over Bluepoint Wellness it's been horrible. All the previous staff has been fired. Nobody from BP is there now. Everyone now is either rude or stuck up and the prices have gone thru the roof. One bottle that's $30 is actually $50 with tax. Don't use your card either because you'll get his with $7 in fees ON TOP of what you paid. Better off getting it off the street.

Just had a fantastic customer experience at rise in Brantford. I was having an issue with a faulty product and went to talk with Pete the manager about it. He was super understanding and assured me they had my back and would take care of me. I went into the back and worked with NICK and received a refund and a lot of great advice on how to use the products. Everybody I interacted with at rise were professional and customer oriented. I will enthusiastically continue doing business with these guys in Branford. Thank you rise.

The customer service here is amazing. From the moment I walked in, Kenneth was friendly, welcoming, and ready to help. They answered all my questions with patience and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. You can tell they really care about their customers and want to make sure you leave happy. The positive energy and professionalism make the experience stand out compared to other places I’ve been.

As a first-time customer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Initially, I was a little unsure of what to expect but Robert was absolutely amazing—he answered all of my questions thoroughly and went above and beyond by offering helpful suggestions that perfectly matched my needs. You could tell he was actively listening, as every recommendation he made was spot on. That alone made all the difference! I felt completely comfortable and taken care of. Truly exceptional service, thank you!! I will definitely be a returning customer!!!
