Riverbank General Store is a social enterprise operated by Queens Association for Supported Living - an organization that promotes the social and economic inclusion of people with diverse abilities. The Riverbank provides meaningful work-skills training and employment as well as a valuable service to the community.
The Riverbank is a place of belonging where individual differences are celebrated, talents and abilities nurtured and community valued. The Riverbank, much more than a general store!
We carry a broad selection of general goods, and are a proud supplier of Boulangerie La Vendéenne, Oulton's Free-Range Meats, Hardywares Preserves, Webbersfood, Mitchell Soups, Just Us Coffee Roasters, Delong Farms and more! We take special orders for meats and boulangerie items just give us a call or stop in to place your order.
Operating as a social enterprise of QASL, Riverbank provides training and employment opportunities to people with disabilities, and we are very proud to support other organizations with a similar mission. Our newly updated gift shop, “Social Goods”, is a bright space dedicated to offering products that are 100% sourced from social enterprises throughout Nova Scotia, including Penny Lane Woodworking & Enterprises - another wonderful social enterprise operated by QASL. Each vendor has a section displaying their products along with a frame that provides information about their social enterprise.
We have a lovely space overlooking the beautiful Medway River, where customers can enjoy a coffee, sweets and deli items from the store fridge, such as our freshly made sandwiches. There is also outdoor seating in our park beside the river. We host a community coffee social every Wednesday from 10-11:30, everyone is welcome! We are also pleased to be hosting a variety of Seniors Socials and Workshops – watch our Facebook page for details on these free events!
