Owner Nicolle Wood offers pantry items, upcycled kitchen utensils and containers, gardening materials, cleaning supplies and more in hopes of making sustainability more accessible and affordable.
RAVENSWOOD — GiGi’s General Store carries a little bit of everything, from Caribbean Jerk seasoning to upcycled butter dishes. But one thing customers definitely won’t find: plastic.
GiGi’s, 1926 W. Montrose Ave., opened March 16 after owner Nicolle Wood completed some small renovations, she said. The storefront used to be home to Hazel Apparel, which moved down the street to 1825 W. Montrose Ave.
The shop carries pantry items such as dried rice, pasta, nuts, spices, cooking oils, fruits and veggies; upcycled kitchen utensils and containers; gardening materials, cleaning supplies and more. Read more HERE
