We Did It! 110 New Owners!
We reached our Ownership Drive goal of 110 new Owners during the first week of September – just before Labor Day and the en
d of summer.
And we’re already putting the new equity we raised to good use. Look around the store next time you come in, and you’ll find lots of improvements.
- We put up a new end cap for bread, with a lot more capacity than the old shelves. We’re keeping it as full as possible. (BTW: Have you noticed our new, lower price on Dave’s Killer Bread?)
- We’ve brought in lots of new products, including kitchen gadgets & accessories and a greatly expanded selection of Hispanic foods.
- We’ve got new shelving in the Bulk Foods department that allows our buyer to work more efficiently as she’s stocking the bins.
- Hot food items are on the way! We’ve got a food warmer set up on the Deli counter – and the Deli crew is getting ready to stock it. (Huge thanks to Yolande Fejes and Ron Velez at Alaska House Art Gallery for helping us get it.)
- And there’s lots more to come!
Thank you for investing in Co-op Market!
