Notice
Due to the changes to protect the public (restriction of bulk refilling), people self-isolating, and such we are implementing some store changes.
We love you. We love our staff. We want everyone to be safe and healthy.
Even if you do not have any of the symptoms of Covid-19 we ask that you do not come into the store. Perhaps have someone shop for you. Other stores and businesses offer home delivery – SPUD.ca (the owners of Blush Lane), Organic Box, and all of the big national and multinational corporate stores offer some kind of delivery service (perhaps through InstaCart).
If you come to the store, we ask that you wash your hands as soon as you enter the store. There is a wash station close to the entrance of the store and a second one on the other side of the produce area.
Reduce Touching
We then ask that you resist touching anything that you are not picking up to buy. This will reduce the transmission of anything between you and other people in the store (we do a continuous sanitization of common surfaces but not every item in the store).
We will only allow a maximum of 10 customers in the store at a time. This helps to allow people to socially distance when they are in the store. We ask that you respect other people in the store, their space, and ensure that you are also comfortable with the spacing.
Staff will try and ensure that people maintain this distance. Please do not take it personally. These are just reminders. If you do need to pass by someone please pass by them back-to-back and not in front of them. Please be patient. Things are a little jammed up with this new way to be in public places like grocery stores.
We ask everyone to practice safe distancing at all times while in the store.
Wear a Mask
On August 1st, 2020, the City of Edmonton made mask-wearing mandatory in all enclosed spaces – shopping malls, stores, etc.
This means that when you come into the store you will need to wear a mask – for your protection and the protection of others.
During the first lock-down earlier this year we reduced our store hours. This had more to do with the lack of staff we had available to maintain our regular hours. Our staff has done a great job during this adjustment and we have been able to resume our regular store hours
Monday – Friday: 9 am to 8 pm
Saturday and Sunday: 9 am to 6 pm

We all want a safe and healthy present and future for our descendants – our children but to get there we need to take actions. Thousands of little actions will help build that world that we want for them. Reusing bags and containers instead of getting new packaging each time you shop will help build that foundation for a vibrant future. Remember your bags!

Earth’s General Store is moving into our next evolution. April will see us dramatically reduce the use of single-use plastic bags in our store. AS of May 1st, 2019 we will not offer single-use plastic produce bags and plastic bags for people to fill up from our bulk products.
A few weeks ago, a fellow was in the store and made a comment that he had heard that bulk was more than our packaged products. I kind of took umbrage to this statement and said bulk is almost always less costly to the purchaser than a packaged product. Bulk is Almost Always Less! This person …

Get a Job! This is the most common phrase that people yell at me as I stand on the side of the road with signs they don’t like. FYI – I have a job and those people yelling – Get a Job – are people that are scared and challenged by the message on my sign.
