They accomplish that goal by intentionally creating a safe, inclusive environment; offering discounts to diversify their customer base; contributing 1% of all sales and 10% of profits to local charities focused on mental health needs, including addiction; mindfully sourcing their products, relying on local vendors when possible; and occupying an environmentally friendly, LEED-certified space.
