A mother is in the running for two awards for her start-up business, which could be crowned one of the region’s best.
Keli King’s The Little Green Pantry on Crown Street, Telford, offers ‘zero-waste’ and environmentally friendly shopping.
Split into different sections, the shop has large dispensaries full of dried foods – like nuts, fruit, rice, pasta, and lentils – and others containing sustainable cleaning products, everything from shampoo and conditioner to floor cleaner, with a pump attached. Customers bring their own container, get it weighed, fill it up, and get it weighed again, so as to only be charged for its contents.
Whilst looking after her six-month old baby, Keli began her business in 2019 as a pop-up shop, setting up at markets, local events and festivals to get her name out and “introduce people” to a new way of shopping. “It was hard work,” she said. “I had the children in the car with me, but they quite enjoyed it. There wasn’t much else to do during lockdown, so they were quite happy coming along with me.”
