Join Our Team!

The Job: Retail Associate. Sounds boring but we swear it’s fun!

Qualifications: Must have valid driver’s license. Previous retail experience an asset, but not required. We are looking for someone who comes with a positive attitude, is great at creating a supportive environment for our customers and is willing to learn about and try zero waste and natural products. 

Your Responsibilities: Help inspire and educate others in their zero waste journey. Assisting customers in store by answering questions, selling, and refilling products. Opening and closing procedures, replenishing stock and helping keep the shop looking sharp are all things we do on the daily.

As we look to grow our company there may be additional things you can assist us with. Maybe you’re good at social media, design, or bookkeeping. We want you to grow with us!

The Hours: This position is casual. We’re open Monday-Friday 10-5 and Saturdays 9-4. We do take part in many markets in our building or on-the-go so our hours can fluctuate and we schedule based on that and your availability.

The Pay: We believe in a fair wage, store discount and free products throughout the year.

The Impact: As we’re a small, local, and woman-owned shop, we encourage you to embody the importance of supporting local, small shops, makers, and our community. We’re ready to grow and we want you to have an impact on that!
