The excruciating 8-10 week wait is over: we have our Building Permit!
Work will begin on the stock room wall Thursday afternoon (after the Farmers’ Market). We hope to get much of our shelves, equipment and new doors on Sunday. The work will continue the following week.
We aim to open on August 15th. The Co-op will be opened in two phases: first the Grocery, then the Food Service. The phasing will allow for variations in time necessary to install the Grease Trap and other kitchen equipment.
Thank you all for your support. We still need help, financially and manually. We are reaching the point where much of the work will need to be done by professionals. There will always be room, however, for the rest of us to lend them whatever support we can.
The start-up effort has entered its final phase. We can finally look forward to being open, and to beginning to fulfill our mission: to serve our neighbor, and thereby to begin to serve our world.
