| - Bear with me while I try to explain what Riva's is to me. I just love this little store and what they are doing to the shopping experience, so I want to get this right.
Riva's has brought the 'general store' idea back to life, refining the concept from what it was 100 years ago when Calgary was just a few dusty dirt roads to create a modern day eco-conscious store where you can find everything from clothing, to toiletries, to baby products, to paint, carpet, tiles, bedding and more! Riva's does the research for you, stocking a range of 'clean' products that are made sustainably and without nasty chemicals you may not even know you are exposed to. Because let's be honest, who has the time and knowledge to do that for themselves?
So far, I have shopped here mostly for cosmetics and hair products, but like to think that next time I'm painting a wall or shopping for baby gifts that this would be my first stop. They even email rather than print your receipt and accept Calgary dollars!
If you are so inclined, I would suggest getting on the Riva's newsletter list. Emails are sent rather sporatically, but are a great way to become a bit more aware of issues such as lead in paint, BPA in baby bottles and why these things matter.
Next time ypu dind yourself in Inglewood, stop by Riva's. Its worth the visit!
