Mason & Greens
It's not the grand opening they were planning, but the new bulk grocer in Old Town, Mason & Greens, is open.
For now, Mason & Greens is offering online shopping for pick-up or delivery. (Go to shop.masonandgreens.com to order.)
When the store opens for in-person shopping, the sustainable dry goods grocer will be Old Town's first bulk and zero-waste grocery store.
According to its website, “Mason & Greens brings the community of Alexandria and its surrounding areas the ability to shop sans plastic. Sans disposable bags. Sans unnecessary waste. And knowing that your buying power is going to support companies who care about reducing waste we can start to combat the frivolous throw away culture that has crept in all around us.”
The dry goods and grocery store is at 913 King St.
Patrons will need to bring their own bags, jars and containers for bulk goods and to carry groceries home — there will be no plastic bags or packaging there.
