“Ensuring sustained financial viability to achieve our mission is one of our key strategic priorities, and unfortunately our downtown retail store no longer serves GreenUP in the way we need it to,” said Tegan Moss, GreenUP executive director. “This will create room for us to focus on fostering awareness in other areas, changing mindsets, and advancing sustainability through our programs.”
 
The store will be open regular hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday until Dec. 21.

There will be a clearance sale of any remaining stock during regular operating hours from Jan. 7 to 17.

GreenUP gift certificates will continue to be honoured at GreenUP Ecology Park, however if a certificate holder wishes to use it at the store, they are encouraged to bring it in for their holiday shopping. All proceeds from the store continue to directly support GreenUPs’s climate work in the community.
 
“While the closure feels like a loss, the widespread availability of sustainable products that were once very hard to find is a win. This is a sign of progress we’re proud to have supported,” said Moss. “We are grateful for the store’s impact and the support it drew from the community,” says Moss. “It was our privilege to connect you with sustainable products, and we look forward to working with you in new ways to deepen personal climate action.”
