The Goods Is A Healthy Convenience Store Right Down To the Slushees

The Goods Mart is a thoroughly modern remix of the classic convenience store. Founded by wellness lover and PR pro, Rachel Krupa, the quick mart-style bodega in Silverlake and now New York is stocked with everything you’d expect to find — except that everything is healthy and clean.

Rachel's idea of a convenience store is actually, well, convenient. It has every little thing we might need, but without the lowest common denominator of ingredients you find in most gas station-quality snacks and goods.

The Goods Mart is the shop of our dreams and, we hope, the shop of the future. The Goods Mart caters to a crowd whose consumer habits are driven by values, and pulls if off without being too precious about it.

Stocked with items hand-picked for their functional, ethical, and eco-responsible ethos, everything on the shelves here is free of artificial flavors and colors, chemical sweeteners, pesticides, endocrine disruptors and most single-use packaging. They even make kombucha slushies designed for a more natural brain freeze.

Zoom in on those shelf shots and you’ll likely spot a few of your favorite products. Including a few of our favorites (and Rachel’s too) like Laiki rice crackers and Wild Planet salmon.

We asked Rachel to tell us about her vision for the stores. "With better food and products come a higher price tag, and my goal was always to make the store accessible to everyone by democratizing the products we carry and making it a place where anyone can shop regularly," Rachel shared.
