Sensational ecological store, with lots of stuff to refill, from pasta to detergent, so you don't need to use plastic containers, plus many other cool products.

Amazing refil store! I have been visiting this shop every few months for years now because the items they sell and such good quality. The food is delicious and the cleaning products work brilliantly. The range of items is fantastic. My personal favourites are the fajita spice (Mexican night has never been the same since), peanut butter and cleaning white vinegar (we use it for cleaning everything!) Al items are reasonably priced, especially when you realise how high the quality is of these products. It feels great to be able to shop without the single use plastic. I usually get so much every trip that it takes 2 trips to the car with the weight of the bags! All the staff are so friendly, always a pleasure to come shopping here.

What a hidden gem this place is! The service is 10/10 every time and the product range / ethos is just unmatched for Bedford town! Keep up the amazing work you do as an independent business, and if you’ve not been to the store already, I would highly recommend it! See you again very soon 💪🏽

I'm a regular at the Store and get a lot of dry goods there. It's good to know I can buy organic and help de-plasticise. And Rosanna and her staff are always friendly. Last Friday I bought a medium Kind Bag rucksack in black. It had its first outing on Saturday on a trip into London. It fits perfectly, is really comfortable and was just the right size to carry everything I needed for the day.
