Mrs. Greenway

31 Main St W, Grimsby, ON

Website

Mrs. Greenway is an eco-focused shop in downtown Grimsby built around making lower-waste choices more accessible. The store combines a refillery with household goods, personal care, clothing, children's products, gifts and reusable alternatives to everyday items.

The business was founded by mother-daughter team Mary Lou and Christine, who opened their first location in Dundas in 2014 and expanded to Grimsby in 2015. Their approach emphasizes sustainability, education, accessibility and community, with particular attention to Canadian-made products where possible.

The Refillery

A large section of Mrs. Greenway is dedicated to its refillery, where shoppers can bring their own containers and purchase personal-care and cleaning products by weight. More than 80 products are available for refill, allowing visitors to buy the quantity they need while reusing containers they already have. The selection includes products for cleaning, laundry, bath, body and hair care. The process is straightforward: containers are weighed before filling, filled with the chosen product, then weighed again to determine the amount purchased.

What You'll Find at Mrs. Greenway

Beyond the refillery, the shop carries reusable and lower-waste products for different parts of everyday life. Shelves include bath and body products, household and kitchen items, reusable food and drink products, bags and totes, gifts and personal-care products. The store also carries clothing.

Many of the products are intended as reusable alternatives to common disposable items, while others emphasize ingredients, materials or manufacturing choices consistent with the store's sustainability focus.

Baby & Kids

Families will find a substantial children's section with baby and kids' clothing, books, feeding accessories, games, activity products and toys. The selection includes wooden animals and other tactile, open-ended toys alongside colourful educational and nature-themed products.

That makes the children's area useful for both parents and visitors looking for gifts, with products extending from baby essentials and clothing through to toys and books.
