Hello and welcome to Independent Thinking, the podcast exploring a new era for the high street.
In today’s episode, I’m delighted to be joined by Jamila and Natasha from The Good Store, a plastic free groceries store in the leafy neighbourhood of Inverleith, Edinburgh.

We discuss developing an idea and bringing it to fruition, how their relationship with their customers has evolved during lockdown, the impact of Black Lives Matter as black business owners and why it's so much more pleasant to 'shop slowly'.
