Save Earth's General Store!

To our valued Earth’s General Store community,

We hear you. The outpouring of support we have seen since announcing our closing has been overwhelming. We are so grateful to be part of this incredible community.

The EGS team is excited to announce that we have made successful developments with funders. While those conversations remain ongoing, EGS feels we are now in a secure position to accept small individual donations. This represents a pivot in our message, from closing EGS to saving EGS.

While the team is thrilled with this change of course, we still need your help. We created this Go Fund Me so that the community can now join in the effort to raise $150,000. We are calling for support because we believe in our community and we know our community believes in us.

We are urgently reaching out to ask YOU to SUPPORT us in raising $150,000!

The EGS team is confident that these funds will help us restock the store and get back on our feet. Money raised will prioritize store staff and the small businesses we support. We have all the pieces to rebuild EGS to a thriving community hub - a strong and united team, a vibrant storefront in the heart of the city, connections with family farms and local suppliers, neighborhood partnerships, and an action plan for moving forward. We are calling on our community to give us this opportunity.

EGS is so proud of the community we’ve built together, one of activism, sustainability, and belonging. For 33 years we have served Edmonton as a leader in providing organic, fair trade, vegetarian, and bulk products. We do not want this to be the end of our story, adding to the list of small businesses facing closure in Edmonton. Thank you for all your support over the years, and we hope you will stand by us in support today. Please help save Earth’s General Store!

With endless gratitude to our loyal community,

The Earth’s General Store Team
