Sara Novakovic
Before opening Oliver’s Wholefood Store in Kew Sara had been a chef in a vegetarian restaurant, imported fresh organic fruit and vegetables from the West Indies and West Africa, had a company selling fresh organic orange juice, taught dance, and aerobics and worked at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. She opened Oliver’s because in 1989 organic food was very difficult to source and she as had seen people get well from life threatening diseases using only natural foods and supplements she wanted to put her (and the bank’s money) where her mouth was.
Mario Pizzi
Store manager Mario will always help you find whatever you are looking for. He knows the groceries inside-out and has a great passion for FOOD in general! He loves cooking and he’s been working at Oliver’s for over 3 years. He’s got a deep interest in organic/biodynamic farming methods as well as being always on the lookout for new products and ingredients for people suffering from food related allergies and intolerances. He's quite fond of music too; he used to work as a tour manager and runs a small independent record label. The list of bands he’s seen over the years is more that 600 and does NOT include Abba, Sir Cliff Richard and Donny Osmond, sadly
