Gram is a new type of “zero waste” grocery store.
No unnecessary packaging, just great produce from local farms and makers, as well as store-cupboard essentials from around the world.
Welcome to Gram!
Fill your own containers (jars, boxes, bags, etc.) from the hygienic dispensers, or use the paper bags provided.
You can buy as little or as much as you need because everything is sold loose and by weight. And when you’ve used it up, there will be no packaging to throw away.
It is easy, fun and for everyone
We make shopping without unnecessary packaging easy and fun. Bring your family and a few containers and explore the amazing world of zero-waste shopping.
Why unpackaged?
Gram is born out of a crucial need to reduce the waste we create on a daily basis. In Sweden, household trash amounts to c. 466 kgs per person per year.
In a world where temperatures are rising, and our oceans and landscapes are filled with plastic debris, each of us can take small steps to be kinder to the planet and leave a lighter footprint.
Buying your groceries without packaging is one of those small steps.
Our story
For me, going zero waste was as much a reaction against overconsumption and the idea that things will make me smarter, sexier, cooler, happier, as it was against the massive impact consumerism has on the planet...read more
Helping to reduce your impact on the planet, one package at a time.
How
Filling your own containers:
Weigh your container or bag on the scales in the shop
Write the weight on your container
Fill with whatever you like
Go to the till to pay
If you don't have a container with you:
Don't worry, we have free paper bags and sell a range of glass jars and bottles and cloth bags. We even have free secondhand jars for you to take.
Hygiene at Gram
Our system ensures products are kept fresh and safe:
The dispensers we use are made from food-grade, BPA-free plastic. Most of the food is stored and dispensed from sealed “gravity silos” where you hold your bag or container under, pull a lever and out comes the product.
Other more “knobbly” or fine-grain products (think nuts or flour) are stored in scoop trays with lids, just like lösgodis.
Out the back, we keep everything in sealed, air-tight boxes, and have a strict hygiene procedure for cleaning and refilling the dispensers

Our products
Our suppliers
Our range is c. 92% organic.
A few products are non-organic, where it’s hard to find but we feel it’s a great product to have in bulk, or if it’s locally produced and of a high standard.
We are always interested to hear what you think is missing, so contact us with your ideas.
Our aim is to be as zero waste as possible. That means making sure we reduce packaging at every stage from producer to your home.
We buy products in bulk, with the theory that the larger the container the less material is used per kilo.
We try to work with suppliers who sympathise with our mission and help us reduce or reuse packaging.
