A Greener Future for the Mornington Peninsula.
In January 2020, Nicola, a stay-at-home mum with a passion for healthy cooking and the environment, opened Foundation Bulk Food Store. Living on the Mornington Peninsula, she knew firsthand how tricky it could be to find affordable, unpackaged wholefoods and refillable cleaning products in the area. Tired of the limited options and determined to create a sustainable shopping alternative to big supermarkets, Nicola decided to take matters into her own hands and open the store.

Located in the Dromana Hub complex opposite the Salvos
Foundation Bulk Food Store was born out of Nicola’s mission to make sustainable, healthy choices accessible to her community. She wanted to make it easy for locals to buy exactly what they need – without excess packaging or waste—and offer a space that feels warm and welcoming. Here, customers can fill their bags and jars with everything from Aussie oats and local honey to eco-friendly dishwashing liquids and Nicola’s special adaptogenic hot cacao, Elevate Elixir.
