ABOUT US
Planet Organic was established in 1995 and we currently have 6 stores in London with over 250 employees. We sell only the freshest, healthiest and most delicious organic/natural food that customers can find, as well as the finest organic skincare, books, juices and take away food.
Each item in every store has been handpicked and carefully chosen. We think long and hard about what’s in our products, how they've been grown and how far they travel, so that our customers don’t have to. It’s not just about hard work: we love what we do.
We work to our five values which are:
• We promote healthy living in the community
• We provide organic and natural food that you can trust
• We create a shopping experience that’s fun, educational and rewarding
• We conduct our business in a fair, honest and responsible way
• We respect our employees, customers and suppliers
