Announcing Co+op, Stronger Together

You might have noticed changes to the look of our flyers, sales signs, and other materials around the store. They now state "Co+op, stronger together".

If you travel to other food co-ops across the country, you’ll likely see this new look there too. Our co-op is a member of the National Cooperative Grocers Association (NCGA), a co-op organization providing business services for over 100 food co-ops like ours. It connects us with other food co-ops and lets us focus more of our time on providing a greater value to our members, shoppers and local community.
