At BBM, we love providing a space for local women-owned businesses to sell their products. As a woman-owned business ourselves, we know how meaningful it is to provide a platform for other women to succeed.
All of the retail products we carry are from Canadian woman-owned businesses. We have selected unique, high-quality items from a variety of Canadian woman-owned businesses that you’re sure to love. We love being a one-stop shop for all your beauty and shopping needs. There’s nothing better than finishing up a pamper session with a little shopping to support local female entrepreneurs!
In the spirit of supporting other woman-owned Canadian businesses, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite local businesses. They range from clothing to accessories, to body care and more. Check them out

Support Local
There are so many great local businesses in the Ottawa and surrounding communities! If you’re going to shop, we always recommend trying to shop local first. When you support a local company, you’re supporting a family’s dream instead of contributing to a corporation’s bottom line. We believe that where you spend your money matters, which is why we love to feature amazing local women-owned retailers as well as stocking them in our space.
