Nube Green--A small retailer immersed in their mission

Pop-Up retail has not been as popular in Seattle as I would have expected, but one small retailer has caught my attention.

Since June 2013, Nube Green Mobile--a spin off from Seattle parent, Nube Green--has had a temporary location in downtown Bellevue, WA.  Nube Green sells re-cycled, up-cycled and sustainably sourced products. What I like most about the Nube Green Mobile shop, though, is their actual facility.  To "practice what they preach," the small retail location consists of a re-purposed sea container, leveled and landscaped using re-claimed wood and old shipping pallets.  And even their store sign is made from re-purposed street signs.

While I have not personally found the need for any of the home-decor goods they sell, I am impressed with peripheral services they offer like the rental of eclectic collections of dinnerware and silverware.

To further live out their mission of minimizing their footprint and impact, Nube Green planned their closing the day they opened and their facility will close Sept. 15.    Their Seattle location remains open.

Hats off to a small company who has stayed true to their mission.
