Bulk Barn is a Canadian bulk foods store founded in September 1982[1] by Carl Ofelid.[2] The store sells common to somewhat specialty foods (like vegan and non GMO ones[1]). Though the store can't be considered zero waste due to its heavy use of plastic in both prepackaged and bulk items, it encourages customers to use its Reusable Container Program to reduce waste.[3][1]
Charity and Fundraising
Bulk Barn participated in Fundraising for Alzheimer's Canada, reportedly raising over 275,000 dollars in 2012.[4]
