seven planet is focused on the vision of building the world’s first chain of green general stores. This means that the stores in each respective city or neighborhood we serve needs both products and services that the local patrons need. These include every day services that we all utilize including grocery delivery, water service, dry cleaning, road side assistance, etc.
Eco-boutiques are popping up all over the web thanks to visionary retailers willing to take risks. While the debate over green consumption asks tough questions (is marketing lots of green stuff the answer to our consumerism woes?), it is clear that when it comes to eco fashion, the mantra is quality over quantity.
GBQ has created a lively and respected forum for green companies throughout the country.
Seven Planet is located in Portland’s Old Town on NW Couch street. The green general store supports a new way of consuming called “Mindful Commerce.” The business is built on the belief that someone should only consume when they need something and that product should be the most mindful and sustainable one available. Seven Planet will only work with “mindful suppliers” who are building and creating the most green and sustainable products possible. In addition to selling house hold goods, clothes and accessories, Seven Planet rents and sells electric scooters and soon will rent bicycles. Seven Planet’s products can also be purchased online at www.sevenplanet.com.
