NLB is A SlMPLE lDEA:

and which SUSTAINABLY ORIGINATED from

as close to the NLB location as possible!

​

BUT!  We are NOT a typical bulk market.
Here’s why...

​

​

a FULL COMMERClAL KlTCHEN!

Roastin’, Toastin’, Dehydratin’, Bakin’, and Makin’
all sorts of items for our customers DIRECTLY
from the source ingredients we sell to you, all in-house!
(You show us a true bulk store that does that!)

​

​

Direct Sourcing in BlG BULK!

We will buy in BIG bulk (we’re talkin’ 2,000lbs+ here)
so we can get THE BEST prices,
on the best, and most SUSTAINABLE products,
so that we can sell them to YOU,
at the very best prices that we can offer!

​

​

Our CONTAlNERS are HERMETlC!

Almost ALL bulk containers in a typical bulk store are not air tight!
Leaving the food they want you to buy, stale(!). BLAH!!
NOT at NLB!
Only HERMETIC GLASS Containers for us,
to keep ALL of your future purchases…FRESH!

​

​

a FULL TAKE-BACK system!

NO one, and we mean NO ONE, offers a way for customers
to take their used packaging back to the store for proper disposal.
HELL YA WE WILL TAKE IT BACK!
We will take back almost ANY packaging that we sell to:
return a deposit refund, reuse, compost, recycle, or properly dispose.

​

​

ELlMlNATlNG pre-packaged items!

Offering our products without pre-packaging saves you money,
gets you a FRESHER bulk product from hermetic containers,
and reduces wasteful packaging across the board!

​

ZERO WASTE….ALMOST!
Society is not at all set up for being sustainable, let alone zero waste.
Being “truly” Zero Waste is almost impossible… However!
…at NLB are obsessively focused at getting as damn close to “0” as we can…
…and we want you to come along for the adventure!

REAL SUSTAlNABlLlTY
This is the NLB purpose! Seriously…
If we don’t strive to be a leader in sustainable actions
ACROSS THE FREAKIN’ BOARD
why the hell are we even bothering with all this food nudity?!!?

​

T R A N S P A R E N C Y
Unless a company is trying to be a shady shifting swindler,
why shouldn’t everything be as transparent as possible in business?!
We are making almost EVERYTHING at NLB transparent for all to peep!

​

COLLABORATlON BABY!
You can’t do (almost) anything without collaborating with others.
Everyone at NLB is a ‘Collaborator’…
as that’s what we are, and that’s what we do…
we collaborate to get good sh*t done!

​

​

BLOWlN’ UP the pyramid
Horrible bosses, invisible owners,
layer upon layer upon layer of systems that slow, kill, bury,
and even steal great ideas and thwart positive change.
None of that at NLB!
We’re blowin’ the system up, and flattening it out…
to spread out the wealth, and foster the good stuff!
