Wow, five years! It's hard to believe that it's been half a decade since we first flung open the doors of Kindly, Brighton's favorite vegan supermarket. We started with a simple dream: to make delicious, ethical vegan food accessible to everyone. And guess what? Thanks to YOU, it's been an amazing ride!
A Trip Down Memory Lane (with some seriously impressive numbers!)
We're not just celebrating five years of tasty treats and plant-powered goodness; we're celebrating the incredible impact we've made together. Ready for some mind-blowing stats?
Holy Bathtubs! 🛁
You helped save 169,100 liters of cow's milk – that's enough to fill 225 bathtubs! Can you imagine that much milk? It's all thanks to your love for our plant-based milk, vegan ice cream, and dairy-free cheese. By choosing dairy-free, you're making a real difference for animals, the planet, and a healthier, happier Brighton. Every creamy, dreamy sip counts!
Local Legends: Supporting Brighton Businesses
Did you know that over 73% of our goodies come from amazing local suppliers? That's right, we're talking about 45 incredible businesses within 60 miles of our shop! From our fresh bread to our tasty tofu, we're all about supporting local farmers, producers, and small businesses. By choosing Kindly, you're not just getting delicious food, you're directly supporting our local economy and helping to create a more sustainable food system. High fives all round! 🖐️
Planet-Saving Superstars: Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
We're passionate about treading lightly on our planet, and we know you are too. That's why we prioritize local sourcing whenever possible. And the result? We've saved a whopping 61.57 tons of CO2 – that's like taking 12 cars off the road for a whole year! Every locally sourced product helps reduce those pesky food miles and lessens our impact on the environment. Go team! 🌍
Community Champions: Building a Stronger Brighton Together
Kindly wouldn't be here without our amazing community – that's YOU! Together, we've taken over £3 million in sales, and over 70% of that stays right here in our lovely Brighton, supporting local jobs and businesses. From our team members to our suppliers, your support helps keep Brighton thriving. We couldn't do it without you!
Waste-Busting Wonders: Reducing Plastic Waste
We're on a mission to reduce waste, and you're helping us make it happen! Together, we've prevented over 231,500 plastic bags from entering circulation! That's a whole lotta plastic saved from landfill. Whether you bring your own bags, choose our paper bags, or opt for loose produce, you're a waste-busting hero. 🙌
Cheers to the Next Chapter!
We're bursting with gratitude for every single one of you. Thank you for choosing Kindly, for supporting local, and for being part of this incredible journey. Here's to many more years of delicious food, ethical choices, and community love! 💚
