YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Here's our top 4 reasons for shopping local.

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT: For every $100 spent at a local business, $67 remains in our community, unlike buying from a big box store.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH: Buying local means your purchases required less transportation to reach you, fewer packing supplies, which equals less pollution.
LOCAL EMPLOYMENT: 90% of new jobs are created by locally owned business, and provide the most jobs to Vancouver residents.
BETTER SELECTION FOR YOU: Local companies focus on the needs and preferences of their own community, keeping Vancouver culture unique.

EVERY LOCAL BUSINESS HAS A STORY

We love partnering with local vendors who have a passion for their craft.

KASAMA CHOCOLATE

Kasama on Granville Island was born when four hockey buddies tried making their first batch of bean-to-bar chocolate. Co-founder Vince inherited a small plot of land in the Philippines and was delighted to find cacao trees growing there. After bringing back some cacao pods, the friends decided to give chocolate making a go. They were immediately enamoured with the unique flavour captured by the bean-to-bar process. We're such a huge fan that you can find their amazing chocolate in many of our gift boxes.
