High school life was over; it was time to be an adult. In the early 1990s that was the reality faced by Alisa Armbrecht, today owner of Health Chek, a store that sells health foods and health and beauty supplies at 117 S. Main Street in Ada.
“I was a waitress, I worked in a factory, then I worked at the Lima News,” she said. “I was just trying to find my way in life early on.”
Armbrecht worked at the Lima News for a few years working in its production department, but decided she wanted to go in a different direction.
