In the final phase of the front end portion of our Lawrence remodel, we will replace our store’s over 20-year-old check stands. Our current technology will be mounted into new cabinetry with a longer belt. The additional space will allow shoppers to unload more groceries onto the belt to help facilitate a swifter check out experience.
In addition, our full service check out stands will be repositioned to aim south towards the exit rather than their current eastern configuration. Our self check outs will also shift to align with the exit doors. The new orientation of the check stands will maximize our sales floor space and create better traffic flow for shoppers to queue up in line. The configuration will also make room to accommodate a new floral cooler.
The replacement and remodel process begins Tuesday, March 28 at 9 p.m. and will continue through the night to avoid business disruption. Completion is planned for Wednesday, March 29 and should not affect normal operations.
We recognize that this new configuration might feel like a big change for both staff and shoppers. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Additional Remodel Phases
While we have experienced delays with the last phase of our remodel, we still intend to replace our refrigeration rack — which has reached the end of its useful life and is beyond its maximum capacity. Replacing it with a modern, higher efficiency rack will reduce the store's carbon footprint, create a more sustainable facility, and allow your co-op to offer more products in produce, refrigerated, frozen and other departments.
