Earth’s General Store, a beloved organic grocery store on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, has closed its doors after 33 years in business. Founded by Michael Kalmanovitch on September 3, 1991, the store was known for its commitment to justice, respect, and environmental consciousness. Customers appreciated the personal touch and community feel that set it apart from larger supermarkets. On its final day, many gathered to enjoy green onion cakes cooked by Kalmanovitch himself, marking the end of an era for the eco-store staple.
It’s always sad to see such community-focused businesses close. Do you have any memories or thoughts about Earth’s General Store?
