More Than A Store

More Than A Store Pop-up market featuring ethical and socially conscious goods. We rise by lifting others.

More Than A Store (MTAS) is an annual pop-up market open during the Christmas season. This three-day event features products and goods ethically and socially sourced from companies and organizations devoted to supporting the talents and skills of those looking to escape oppression and poverty, both in the developing world as well as right here in Canada. Launched in 2012, MTAS has supported and he

lped empower many living in adverse circumstances or under oppressive systems. Building and restoring hope happens dramatically in the lives of those empowered through purchases at MTAS. 100% of the profits from MTAS go back to the people and communities that manufactured the goods and products. Hosted by Epic Helps, a division of Epic Group where our mandate as a group of companies involves giving away not just from our surplus, but as part of our social responsibility as a business.
