Our shop is temporarily closed while we make some updates. Please visit portlandgeneralstore.com in the meantime, thank you!

Portland General Store was founded by Lisa Brodar and Troy Tyler. Lisa is the more public face of PGS and its "nose". Troy is our marketing and strategy guru. On each of our business cards it merely says, "Proprietor". This title is sturdy like the company!
about us

Years ago, we became very interested in sustainable living. As a part of that discovery process, Lisa happened upon some vintage soap and perfume recipe books and a collection of antique, Czechoslovakian pharmacy bottles. These were her creative inspiration! Her experimentation began with creams and bath salts and led, eventually, to today's line of products, made from simple, natural ingredients using time-tested methods. We take no shortcuts and don't use the fragrance oils and chemical additives which are commonly found today. Our products and their packaging have an earnest quality which comes from their hand-crafted nature and the "authenticity" we seek in our lives and what we do. This theme is resonating with a wide audience, especially in today's tumultuous times!
