Promoting sustainability is front and center at Plenty Mercantile, and the destination retailer ensures that focus is also in the spotlight at its OKC Will Rogers International Airport storefront.
To differentiate from other airport stores, co-owner Brittney Matlock says Plenty Mercantile’s airport store features a Zero Waste section to promote sustainability and eco-friendly products and souvenirs.
“That very much aligns with our streetside store and its values,” she says.
While airports are often full of single-use plastics at the various concession stands, Plenty Mercantile’s store provides some more sustainable options for travelers, such as reusable cups, reusable travel utensils, bar soaps and more eco-friendly, on-the-go options.
Co-owner Traci Walton adds that the store also features a refill station for travelers to fill their empty water bottles before or after their flights for free.
“It’s a computerized refill station, and you can add flavors for additional cost,” she describes.
