Support Small Business in Calgary – Shop Sustainably at Greenbriar Market

Supporting small business in Calgary is more than just a purchasing decision—it’s a way to invest in your community, foster sustainability, and help create a resilient local economy. At Greenbriar Market, we proudly serve as a hub for conscious consumers who want to make a difference with every dollar they spend.

Open

As a Calgary-based small business, Greenbriar Market is committed to offering thoughtfully sourced, eco-friendly products that align with your values. Whether you're seeking refillable household essentials, sustainable skincare, or locally made lifestyle goods, our store is built on the principle that shopping locally can—and should—support both people and the planet.

Why Choose to Support Small Business in Calgary

Boosting the Local Economy

When you support small businesses like Greenbriar Market, more money stays within the Calgary economy. Small businesses are more likely to source products locally, hire residents from the community, and reinvest profits into local initiatives and partnerships.

This economic cycle helps generate jobs, sustain local families, and contribute to the vibrancy of Calgary’s diverse neighbourhoods. Rather than funneling profits to international corporations, your support directly uplifts local entrepreneurs and creatives.

Personalized Service and Authentic Connections

Shopping at a small business offers a uniquely personal experience. At Greenbriar Market, our team is here to answer questions, share sustainable tips, and help you make informed choices that fit your lifestyle. We take the time to learn about your needs, preferences, and values, offering tailored recommendations instead of one-size-fits-all solutions.

Our relationships extend beyond customer service—we know the makers behind our products, the story of each brand we carry, and the environmental impact behind every ingredient and material.

Encouraging Sustainable Practices

At the heart of Greenbriar Market’s mission is our commitment to sustainability. By supporting our small business, you're helping reduce waste, lower emissions, and promote ethical production. We offer zero-waste refills, biodegradable products, and alternatives to single-use plastics—all designed to support low-impact living.

When you refill dish soap instead of buying new bottles, or choose a locally crafted facial moisturizer in reusable packaging, you’re taking meaningful steps toward a greener future.

What Makes Greenbriar Market Unique

Refillable Everyday Essentials

Our Calgary shop makes sustainable living easy and affordable with a wide selection of refillable household items. From hand soap and dish tabs to all-purpose cleaner and laundry detergent, you can bring your own containers or use ours to refill exactly what you need.

All of our refillable products are non-toxic, biodegradable, and made from plant-based ingredients. They’re safe for your home, gentle on your skin, and kind to the environment.

Natural, Refillable Skincare by Aspera

Greenbriar Market is proud to carry Aspera, a line of locally made, refillable skincare products designed with sustainability in mind. These clean beauty essentials include facial cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and toners, made with botanical ingredients like aloe, green tea, and jojoba oil.

Aspera’s skincare products are vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without harmful chemicals. Available in recyclable packaging and refillable formats, they let you take care of your skin while minimizing waste.

Supporting Local Artisans and Makers

We believe in the power of community, which is why we feature an ever-growing selection of products from Calgary-based artisans and Canadian small brands. Whether it’s handcrafted dishcloths, solid soap holders made from recycled plastic, or beeswax wraps, every product in our store supports small-scale creators.

By choosing these items, you not only reduce your environmental footprint—you also help local entrepreneurs thrive in a competitive retail landscape.

How Greenbriar Market Encourages Community Engagement

Events, Workshops, and Education

Our mission extends beyond products. Greenbriar Market hosts workshops, sustainability talks, and community events that encourage education and connection. From DIY skincare tutorials to plastic-free living seminars, we offer experiences that empower Calgarians to live more consciously.

These events are open to everyone and help build a supportive community of individuals who care about reducing waste, supporting local, and creating lasting impact.

Transparency and Trust

We value transparency in everything we do. From ingredient sourcing to product packaging, we ensure that our customers know exactly what they’re buying and why it matters. Each product at Greenbriar Market is carefully vetted to meet our ethical and environmental standards.

This commitment to honesty and quality builds trust between us and our customers—and that’s something no big-box retailer can replicate.
