Hot Shop: Maison Apothecare Mobile Shop (Win!)

August 7, 2020

A new mobile shop has rolled into the GTA in response to COVID-19.

Fighting to save her small business (after permanently shuttering two of her three physical locations), Natacha Rey, mom of two and founder of Oakville, Ontario-based Maison Apothecare, has taken her all-natural, plant-based, small-batch skin-care, aromatherapy, baby care, gentleman’s apothecary and the Lemon Aide home-cleaning products to the road, food-truck-style, in a Jeep reconfigured (using locally sourced Canadian fir and spruce wood, natch) by her automotive engineer husband.

Keep a keen eye out through your windshield for the Maison Apothecare Mobile Shop, with Rey at the wheel and behind the register, throughout Toronto all summer! —Noa Nichol

We have a winner! Congratulations Tara J. of Mount Pleasant, Ontario, who will receive a $204 Maison Apothecare prize pack!

    Surface cleaner is always needed as I think I clean surfaces about 20x a day, extreme maybe, but better safe than sorry.,

    Very innovative way to showcase your products- congrats.
