Bare Market is Toronto’s first one-stop shop for package-free goods, and this in itself is where the innovation lies. It is a retail goods store that offers body, home care, and lifestyle products, and has recently began to offer package-free groceries as well. Consumers bring in their own containers, weigh them first and begin their shopping trip. Once they are done, they weigh the filled-up container and the weight of the container is deducted from the total weight, this way customers only pay for the amount of product. The thought behind consumers bringing their own containers is that they only purchase the amount they require, rather than being subject to amounts that have been defined in the traditional methods of purchasing the same goods. Furthermore, if a customer is not able to bring in their own container, they have the option of borrowing one from the company. They can use the container and bring it back the next time they come into shop at the store.
