Small Brands, Big Impact: Why Shopping Local Matters

At Hive Hero, we believe that every purchase you make has the power to create a ripple effect. When you support small brands like ours, whether in your local Sobeys, Safeway, or IGA, you’re not just buying a product—you’re fueling local economies, encouraging sustainability, and helping independent businesses thrive. And the best part? You can now find Hive Hero products on store shelves near you! But if your local store doesn’t carry us yet, you can help make it happen.

Why Your Support Matters

Shopping small brands in major grocery stores is about more than convenience—it’s about impact. When you choose to support brands like Hive Hero, you’re contributing to:

Local Jobs & Economy: Small brands create jobs within communities, from the beekeepers harvesting our honey to the team members packaging your orders. When our products are stocked in stores, it supports both our business and the local grocery stores that carry us.
Sustainability & Ethical Practices: Many small brands prioritize responsible sourcing and environmental impact. At Hive Hero, we’re committed to sustainable beekeeping, ensuring that every jar of honey and every skincare product we make supports the health of honeybees and their habitats.
Product Diversity & Innovation: When you support independent brands, you encourage grocery stores to carry unique, high-quality products that you won’t find in mass-produced lines. Your choice tells store managers that customers want options beyond the big-name brands.

How You Can Get Hive Hero in Your Local Store

While we’re expanding into more retail locations, we need your help to make sure Hive Hero is available at your nearest Sobeys, Safeway, or IGA. Many grocery stores take customer requests seriously, and your voice can make all the difference!

Here’s how you can help:

Ask Your Store Manager: The next time you’re shopping, stop by the customer service desk or ask a store manager if they can stock Hive Hero products. A simple, “Do you carry Hive Hero? I’d love to buy it here!” can go a long way.
Fill Out a Product Request Form: Some stores have request forms available for customers to suggest new products. If you don’t see one, ask!
Tag & Share on Social Media: Post a photo or a message on social media, tagging your local Sobeys, Safeway, or IGA, and let them know you’d love to see Hive Hero on their shelves.
