Independent family-run supermarket chain Joyce’s Supermarkets has welcomed reuzi (Ireland’s one-stop shop for sustainable lifestyle ) to their Knocknacarra location.
Galwegians can now shop for eco-friendly and sustainable products in-store, from reusable bottles and kitchenware to toiletries and homewares. Pat Kane, owner of reuzi has curated the products with Joyce’s customers in mind. The partnership marks a significant development for both companies and is the first time that reuzi has partnered with a supermarket chain.
Aisling Joyce, Operations Director for Joyces Supermarkets said that over the past couple of years, the environment has come to the forefront of their minds and they have wanted to bring more eco-friendly and sustainable choices to their customers.
“Partnering with reuzi has allowed us to stock over 100 new sustainable products and also tap into the fantastic knowledge of Pat Kane and her team, learning more about what contribution we can make to the environmental cause but also using our platform to help educate the community in which we operate. We are just starting on our journey but are excited to see what difference we can all make,” said Ms Joyce.
Pat Kane, owner of reuzi said they believe sustainable living should be straightforward and accessible.
“Our friends at Joyce’s agreed with us. As an independently owned and operated Irish business, we are truly delighted to be joining forces with the team at Joyce’s to bring Galway and surroundings the best of sustainable living. We’re proud to say this partnership is grounded in our shared values of sustainability.”
