Melissa Matthews

Owner/Operator - Great Lakes Refill Co.

I am Melissa Matthews, co-owner and founder of Great Lakes Refill co. alongside my sister Lisa. I live in the small, beautiful town of Petrolia with my husband Craig and our two wonderful little boys Grayson (5) & Bodhi (2). Being mommy to these two little men is my greatest joy. I am proud to teach them to live a more sustainable life, find joy in nature and treat our planet respectfully. Owning Great Lakes Refill has become a huge part of our lives and my greatest accomplishment thus far. Owning this business, helping others reduce waste and building up a community around a reduced waste lifestyle is so deeply rewarding. I am thankful every day to be living this rollercoaster of a dream with my little sis.

Lisa Ladouceur

Owner/Operator - Great Lakes Refill Co.

I am co-owner and founder of Great Lakes Refill alongside my sister Melissa. Growing up in a small-town and on a family farm, we understand the pride that comes from sustainable stewardship. We took this little idea of creating package free grocery in our community and grew it into our lovingly named “big girl store.” When I’m not counting peanuts at the shop as the resident CPA, I enjoy hanging out with my pupper Artemis, hiking the local trails, discovering new haunts, and hobby photography.
