The Merc Co+op is excited to announce the recipients of the 2026 Change for our Community program. “Change” gives shoppers the opportunity to donate their spare change to local organizations every time they shop. Each month, a different organization is featured as the recipient, and 100% of all donations collected go to that specific organization.
Since the program began in January 2014, we have raised over $700,000 for local nonprofits.

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.
