Sustainable shop GoGo Refill announced on Tuesday that it will close its Brunswick location by the end of the month. In a social media post, the company said that it “wrestled with this decision for months, and it breaks our hearts” but noted that the closure does not mean that the concept of the shop failed in Brunswick. Owner Laura Marston said that the business was profitable but cosure was the best option based on a number of factors, many of which the company said were “beyond our control.” It offers plastic-free, zero-waste products such as cleaning supplies and toiletries. During two years at the Brunswick location alone, it diverted or “refused” about over 40,000 plastic containers.
