The Greener Apple

Located within Book Buyers at the intersection of The Plaza and Central Avenue, The Greener Apple offers vegan household, food, and beauty products. I’m a fan of Lee’s parents’ bookstore, and have seen her business grow from just a few shelves to its current state. She has slowly added more shelf space, and has a lot of variety!
I subscribe to several beauty subscription boxes, and was excited to see several of the brands I’ve sampled at this store (such as Meow Meow Tweet and BWC). She even has a few makeup products, such as mascara and finishing powder.
In addition to offering products from larger companies, Lee carries products from many local providers. She is always willing to listen to suggestions of new products to carry, or give input on those she especially likes. Lee also sells Chico Bags, and I can’t seem to be able to leave without purchasing a new one.
If you are considering healthier options for yourself or your family, I’d suggest checking out The Greener Apple!

I love this place! They have amazing vegan options that you really just can’t get anywhere else in Charlotte. I love the cat that hangs out there, but even more, I love the coconut bacon :)

There aren’t too many Charlotte stores that have Eco-​friendly offerings. Housed inside of an amazing used book store, Book Buyers, the Greener Apple has everything from vegan treats and raw chapstick to Eco-​conscious laundry detergent and recyclable sandwich containers. Must check out this charming little spot!

The Greener Apple is located in Book Buyers, a Plaza Midwood used book store. It features Eco-​conscious items, such as household cleaners and vegan foods. Lee, who is the daughter of the gentleman who owns the book store, is the bubbly proprietress of The Greener Apple. The store also features Page, a lovely tuxedo cat that unfortunately, we are warned not to pet. And, on a funnier note, we are advised not to call Page «fat» or ask if she s pregnant. Anyway, hats off to The Greener Apple and Book Buyers for giving Page a loving, safe home. Recently, I purchased vegan marshmallows and chocolate for s’mores. Lee chipped in two delicious flax bars as well! Not only are the products that one would feel good about purchasing, but Lee’s consistent friendliness is a draw as well. I just wish that she would let me pet Page…
