Empowering Knox retailers, Providence Foods and the Experience Knox initiative

Maddie, owner of Providence Foods in Ferntree Gully, is making waves in Knox’s retail scene, not just for her sustainable approach to shopping, but also for her active role in supporting the local business community.

As a member of the Experience Knox working group, Maddie is helping shape the platform to promote Knox retailers, showcase their products and services, and connect local businesses with customers. Through the working groups input, Experience Knox continues to grow as a valuable resource for the community, helping retailers increase visibility and engagement across the region.

Providence Foods is more than a bulk food store, it’s a welcoming space where customers can shop at their own pace and in alignment with their values. Maddie and her partner Andreas have created a peaceful, thoughtful shopping experience, offering essentials such as olive oil, oats, flour, and coffee, as well as fresh food, skincare, health supplements, eco-friendly cleaning products, and giftware.

Sustainability is at the heart of the business. Customers are encouraged to bring their own containers to reduce waste, and the store proudly showcases locally made products, supporting other small businesses in the area.
