Co-op owner appreciation week is a time to celebrate being a community-owned store with special food and drink tastings for you. Our owners also enjoy 10% off a shopping trip. Not an owner? It’s easy to join and your $200 share can be paid in annual $25 increments. Ownership can pay for itself with the savings of just one shopping trip during owner appreciation week!
Tastings planned at Co-op for owner appreciation week February 7-13:
