Shelby Lendrum hopes that one day this category won’t be needed, that all stores will be stuffed to the sky with the good-for-you-and-the-planet items P’lovers is all about. In the meantime, her Dartmouth location is a readers’ favourite for green products. “That means people in Dartmouth appreciate that we took a risk and set up shop in their neighbourhood, which is so heartwarming,” she says. “We’ve done all the research, put in the work and the time to offer the best eco-alternatives. It’s only retail, but it’s grassroots. Getting your wants at P’lovers is a responsible way to treat yourself.”
