Jen Next Door Podcast

Do you wonder what it takes to own a business? Do you want to get inspired by others that are right next door to you? Then you have come to the right place! Welcome to Jen Next Door. I’m Jen. Twice a month, I have conversations with local business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives on how they started their business, dig deeper into their human story, advice they offer and how they are impacting our communities in a positive way. I realized that the magical part of travelling to new places are the local people and the new things I get to experience. It’s the small mom and pop shops, the local atmosphere that really brings people to your town. I want to shed a light on unique local businesses that make Arizona the special place it is. If you connect with anything I just mentioned join me wherever you hear podcasts.

#14 Larasati Vitoux - Maison Jar

September 13, 2022 • Jennifer Otero • Season 1 • Episode 14

France native, turned New Yorker, Larasati Vitoux has brought a little bit of Europe to the States. She owns Maison Jar, a refillery and grocery store focused on not having unnecessary packaging. Customers can bring in reusable containers or jars and fill them up with bulk items from her store. She sells items from food, home/personal care and essentials in the hopes of influencing small habits that can become a catalyst for bigger movements for the environment.

Larasati loved her job before but felt like something was missing, her purpose. She wants to create a community in her neighborhood and help people build healthy habits for themselves and the planet. She’s focused on always having quality products. She is also working on workshops in her store to educate others on sustainability practices. Listen to this episode wherever you hear podcasts!
