About P’lovers
P'lovers the Environmental Store, founded in Halifax in 1992, was one of the first stores in Canada to specialize in environmentally friendly products. P'lovers has grown to five stores -- Halifax and Mahone Bay, in Nova Scotia; Stratford, Bayfield, and Port Perry in Ontario -- making it the largest network of environmental stores in Canada.

P'lovers opened in historic downtown Port Perry in May 2002 and was incorporated in October 2005 as P’lovers of Port Perry Inc. P’lovers is filled with hundreds of wonderful, eco-friendly products designed to help our customers live more sensitively with the earth.
