What: ‘The Good Store’ is a sustainable department store focused on bringing a new retail concept focused on reuse and refurbishment to London.

Why it is important: The Good Store has a range of plastic-free and sustainably sourced products, plus educational events and services to guide consumers in reuse and repair to improve London’s circular economy while supporting social enterprises.

Opened on South Molton Street in Mayfair, London, The Good Store is a 6,000 sq ft department store that carries a selection of sustainable products and brands across clothing, accessories, health and beauty, furniture, homeware, tech and books. The concept was created by Groundwork London, part of a group of charities that work to mobilize practical community action to fight poverty and preserve the environment.

All profits are reported to be put back into the social reuse programmes so that the store can continue to bring waste back to life. More information can be found on the website: https://thegoodstore.uk/
