Planet Organic will be opening a new store at London’s Broadway Market next month.
The opening of the new store will take the organic food and grocery retailer’s total number of stores to 14.
Planet Organic is committed to offering sustainable careers to the local communities around its stores and through its Retail Academy provides apprenticeships across London. It also works with House of Barnabas and Well Grounded to give people the support and training they need to find paid employment to help break the cycle of homelessness.
Through partnerships with companies such as Olio and Too Good to Go, the retailer became a zero edible food waste business in 2018.
At Broadway Market, it will be partnering with a number of local charities and organisations. It will also be collaborating with Hackney Council with a view to launching apprenticeship and mentorship schemes.
