Major Health Foods began with one woman’s belief that true health goes beyond trends. It’s a lifelong commitment to caring for the body, mind, and spirit.

Our founder, Lily Majors, was a pioneer in the health food industry long before “wellness” became a buzzword. For over 40 years, she built Major Health Foods into more than just a store. It became a place where people could learn, feel supported, and take control of their health.

Born in Girard, Kansas in 1936, Lily lived a life defined by curiosity, courage, and connection. She didn’t just follow a path, she created one. After moving to Texas, she planted roots in the McAllen community and poured her passion into helping others live better, healthier lives.

At just five feet tall, Lily had a presence that filled every room. She believed in sharing knowledge freely, mentoring others, and opening doors wherever she could. To her, wellness wasn’t about selling products, it was about empowering people.

Community was at the heart of everything she did. Lily gave her time and energy to countless organizations, always driven by one purpose: to make a difference in people’s lives. Whether through education, service, or simple conversation, she created meaningful connections that continue to ripple through generations.

Major Health Foods was built on those same values.
