Review: It's stupid, I realize, but I never went to the Co-op at their old location off Wells. For some reason, I just never thought it was shop-able. Whatever that means, right?
But they just moved close to my house and I find myself there all the time picking up the local carrots and green onion that I need to make the perfect soup for dinner or meusli fixin's for breakfast. Or I'm down to my last roll so I swing by to scoop one up.
Downtown has needed a grocery store for far to long!
Yeah, there's a lot of spendy veggie boutique packaged treats you can blow a paycheck on but I think they have the basics well covered.
It's just a tiny little bugger so 3 or 4 shoppers is a serious crowd and backup at the checkout line.
I do wish they had fresh bread (Frozen breads are available) and I wish they had beer or booze or wine but I bet there are some valid reasons for that so I don't hold it against them.
Just a heads up, they do have a surcharge for using an ATM or debit but you know better and should be using cash at local businesses anyway so shame on you for not planning ahead! Don't make our community pay for your conveniences Mister! (yes, I'm kidding. Well, sort of)
