New at the Co-op

Your co-op loves to try new things. And, we’re proud to be one of the first stores around to offer some of grocery’s most exciting new products. Our staff applies care and thought to everything we carry, so you can find just what you’re looking for when you shop the co-op — natural, organic and locally grown foods in addition to the traditional brands you may know well. We want to provide choices for shoppers so they can choose what’s best for their health, community and wallets.
