Picked up my online order today. I’m super impressed with quantity, quality and price. Also I have to say the online experience with their website was extremely streamlined and easy.
I will be ordering from them again or going into their beautiful store once it reopened. This place makes grocery shopping fun!

The service here is top-notch as well. Quality of product is great, prices are pretty good, some items are a bit steep in price but its a small business so keep that in mind.
We'll be back for sure as this is our go to bulk place.

A warm, clean, and inviting space to refill your own containers with food, bulk staples, household products, spices, teas, and roast coffee, with an emphasis on local, organic, sustainable, and health conscious.

I love this company so much! I just moved to the area in 2020 and am so blessed that this location is still offering and hasn’t stopped, to my knowledge, their BYOC program! Super spacious but incredibly intricate store layout with always something new to discover! I also appreciate the owners and employees willingness to by and look into new sustainable products if you request one! Thank you GLRC <3 BYOC=Bring Your Own Container :)

Our impact metric is measured from September 2018 to December 2021.

The number of trees planted represents our loyalty customers who have chosen to donate their rewards to Climate Action Sarnia's tree planting initiative in our community. This program started in late January 2021.

The number of bottles saved is an approximation based on the number of bulk liquid products sold in store. It takes the total kilograms sold and is divided by 250 grams which is the approximate weight of an average prefilled product (i.e. the range can be from face cream 30 g to laundry 2.5 KG). This does not include the additional waste saved from packaged dried goods that typically come in plastic. We estimate the plastic waste saved is much higher and will only continue with your efforts!
