I love the sustainable offerings and products that SHIFT has to offer. What I enjoy the most is the community events they host. From trivia on sustainability, sewing classes or clothing swaps, Kimberley and Eleisha think of creative ways to engage the community and help us learn and adopt more sustainable practices.
I also appreciate how they partner with other groups like Mother Compost and local schools, helping to build a stronger, greener community and spread awareness about sustainable practices. I highly recommend SHIFT whether you’re just starting to explore sustainable practices, looking to learn more, or have fully embraced a zero-waste lifestyle.

SHIFT is part of the new wave of thoughtful growth here — grounded, intentional, and quietly inspiring. Sustainable living doesn’t feel overwhelming or preachy; it just feels doable and real.
I’ve honestly become hooked on a few of their products, and I find myself learning how to be a better consumer — and even a more thoughtful homeowner — every time I stop in. It’s helped me align everyday choices with the values I actually want to live by.
Kimberly and Alisha bring so much heart to what they’re building. Their energy and authenticity make change feel motivating, not intimidating. SHIFT isn’t just a shop — it’s a steady, positive anchor in the neighborhood that helps build community.

SHIFT is so much more than the products they sell. A number of years ago Kimberley gave a talk about low-waste that so inspired me and helped me to change my way of living.. I began to understand that living a low-waste life is not difficult, and I have been able to incorporate many of the ideas into my life.. When SHIFT opened in Narberth, it expanded my options for low-waste living. I no longer had to research the best options, because Kimberely and Elisha do that for all of us. Have a question about a product, they know the answer. In addition, SHIFT runs workshops and talks that are both informative and fun. SHIFT is an invaluable asset to all.

SHIFT is one of my favorite stores, not just because of their mission of sustainability, but their commitment to the community. Their events and pop-ups always feature local vendors and provide a fun way to reuse/save waste. And their product offering is awesome – I love all their cleaning products!!

I love going to SHIFT! I always run into someone I know. Shopping for familiar and new products feels like just a bonus. Kimberley and Eleisha have created a marvelous resource for our community. Everyone should check it out!

SHIFT is not only an incredible sustainable store, it’s a cozy warm space with endless good vibes and creative offerings. Its offerings are limitless and provides a community safe haven to a variety of workshops for living a sustainable lifestyle, as well as workshops to take care of yourself. I have provided an art therapy workshop as an art therapist and rented their back nook for a couple of years for my wonderful art therapy participants. This store fills up your cup in more than obvious ways. It’s a gem, a sanctuary, and became a home to me and my practice before moving to NJ. I’m forever grateful to Kimberley and Elisha for their kindness and undeniable love they pour into SHIFT, its products, customers, etc. Ps. It smells delicious and has incredible wet and dry goods!!! SHIFT makes things better, period. Women owned, empowered, and a store that plants goodness, light, and joy EVERY DAY. So grateful I was part of this store and its journey. It’s undeniable the positive impact SHIFT has had on the Narberth community and has shifted my mindset to be more sustainable in my own life. Congrats to SHIFT on truly being the best store ever.

SHIFT is where I go for high-quality, environmentally-friendly personal care and household cleaning products. I love that they source from local producers of the highest quality, and they prioritize plastic-free containers. Beyond that, they serve as a resource for other local, sustainable businesses and events. Walking into SHIFT smells wonderful and elevates my shopping experience.

A BREATH of FRESH AIR……
Literally, figuratively, exponentially….
I have had the great fortune of watching this movement, SHIFT- Sustainable Goods & Services, take shape over the past decade.
Co-owner and Co-founder, Kimberley Bezak, is someone that I have been lucky enough to call a friend. Her intense passion for zero-waste living and environmental sustainability and preservation has literally infiltrated my consciousness.
I first became acutely aware of her vocation to the Earth, 10 years ago, when we were both on the NarbEarth Day Committee. Kimberley humbly mentioned that she and her family of 4, (2 of which were toddlers at the time), only produced two bags of actual trash per year. This left me in a state of curious disbelief with the desire to learn how this was even possible.
Over the years, she has led by example, inspired and educated countless neighbors, friends, and community members in countless ways. Before the pandemic she shared her zero waste journey at The Narberth Library. Eleisha Eagle was in the audience that evening and it was kismet. The two would share their combined and varied gifts and mutual dedication to sustainable living. This cosmic connection would ultimately give birth to what is now a thriving place of hospitality, inspiration, education, possibility, and essentially HOPE! I can remember weekly meetings they would have during the pandemic to dream and plan this joint venture; relentless and tireless in their mission to see this dream realized.
I can not wait to see the SHIFTS that continue into the next decade!

I am proud to say that somewhere in Shift there is a framed dollar bill, the first dollar they earned, when they set up shop in Narberth American Family Market, and I stopped by to congratulate my neighbor Kimberly and meet her partner Alyssa, and wound up making a purchase. As a planning commissioner in Narberth, it gives me great happiness to see a home-grown mission-driven business grow up and thrive, and evolve into a vibrant community hub. Because of Shift, I now know a beekeeper, found a knife sharpener and connected with a composting service. Shift is not only helping us all find our way to sensible low-waste or no-waste solutions to lead our lives, but also weaving a vast community fabric, helping us come together and support each other around common purpose.

SHIFT has become essential for our household. We refill all our soaps, shampoos, conditioners, deodorant, face wash, floss, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and general bathroom and kitchen needs there (in addition to other odds and ends). They’ve also become one of our go-to spots to shop for gifts for birthdays and holidays, a great spot to put together little ‘care packages’ for friends and family, and to browse some of their reclaimed cups, glasses, pitchers, shakers, and other older tableware. And everyone who works there is wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and dedicated to the store’s mission of helping people live more sustainable lives. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I went in last week and were blown away. What a GEM!!! And the staff, loving vibe, and beauty of the store were all top notch. We will be back 🩷

Hands down my favorite place to shop—not just on the Main Line, but anywhere. Kimberley, Eleisha, and the staff, are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, and the space itself is calm, beautiful, and a joy to be in. Whether you’re deeply committed to low-waste living or just starting to make more intentional, ethical choices, this shop makes it easy and inspiring. I’m a regular for refills like soap, shampoo, and laundry detergent, and I always love browsing their thoughtfully curated selection of secondhand clothing, home décor, and sustainable goods. Truly a gem and a meaningful community partner, and so grateful they are in Narberth!.
Bettina
Kimberly and Eleisha have created a beautiful space in Narberth. It’s relaxing just stepping inside their lovely store. They are passionate about their mission and have taken such care to research and select the products they offer. I especially love their detergents, soaps and shampoos. I appreciate that they aim to educate and create community, not just sell products. Their programs support other local craftspeople and businesses and that align with their mission. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful small business in town.
Tom Rickards
Great store but great women leaders in business. They have spoken to my students at my school and were amazing with the kids!
Alice Rickards
Shift is a favorite in the Narberth and greater Philly community. I get all of my home essentials, make up and cute thrifted wear! They make eco friendly swaps easy and fun!
Jaime Day
SHIFT is one of Narberth’s most special small businesses. Their thoughtfully curated products make it easy to live more sustainably without sacrificing quality, style, or convenience. The team is so warm, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to helping our community make more eco-friendly choices. It’s a business that feels good to support every time you walk in.
Alexandra Weaver
I don’t know how many plastic containers I’ve not had to “hopefully recycle” since SHIFT opened four years ago, but it must be a lot. Every refill of detergent, hand soap, shampoo, body lotion, etc. with a jug or bottle I’ve reused over and over again, is incredibly gratifying.
Simply put, if every town had their own SHIFT, the world would be a much cleaner, healthier, and sustainable place. Narberth is incredibly lucky to have the owners, Kimberley and Eleisha, who have poured their hearts into establishing this refillery shop, and created an opportunity for us all to reduce waste and protect our environment while using earth-caring products.
Sammy
I don’t know how to express how much Shift adds to the Narberth community. There’s the obvious: our family (and many other families!) produces far less waste and is inspired to think more intentionally about our carbon footprint. But Shift gives so much more than just that. Everyone who works there has so much heart, and it is a joy to know them. They also put on incredible and fascinating events that ties the community together beautifully. They support local artists. And walking into Shift just feels like taking a breath of fresh air.
Shift has changed lives and will continue to change lives, and we are deeply grateful that they are here in Narberth!
Francesca Ifantiedes
Shift is a treasure in Narberth! A beautiful space which supports an important mission and a welcoming community feel. It truly does offer something for everyone from their products to community events and pop-ups. It doesn’t hurt that the owners are extremely knowledgeable and supportive of wherever one is on a zero-waste journey. This is community building at its finest!
Leah Mayne
Not only is SHIFT a breath of fresh air and a lovely shopping experience, but I’ve enjoyed all of the items I’ve purchased there ranging from local chocolate to laundry detergent, and such great peace of mind to know everything has been vetted by the owners to be the highest quality, locally sourced and environmentally friendly. We are so lucky to have this gem in our community!!
