🥳❤️🛒 35 years in business as of November 2026... THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!!!
We are so grateful to Paul Meyers for giving us a platform to help spread the word about our passionate little store! He took the time to sit and learn about our story, and what we offer, so he could share it with our community.

Marg Barnes has owned Bins and Bins since the day it opened: November 1, 1991, in 1,200 square feet. The first weekend, every red cherry and bit of glazed fruit in the store sold out in two days. Her mom had to explain it to her: North Bay was making Christmas cakes. A trip to Toronto to their main supplier was in the cards for more.
The store is 4,000 square feet now. Half bulk, half health food: supplements, gluten free, keto and vegan lines, essential oils, natural body care, about fifty cake pans you can rent for two dollars a day, and twelve to fifteen local makers on the shelves, plus many more goodies to discover.
Her tip for bulk: bring your recipe. If it calls for two cups of flour, buy two cups of flour.
You can also drop off your dry cleaning and ship a UPS parcel while you're there, seven days a week.
We had coffee at gd2go | Healthy Food Fast in North Bay, ON. Read her story: https://northbaylocal.ca/business/bins-and-bins/ (Or link in bio for IG)
