Oh, Hi! ✌︎㋡

Welcome to the Co-op Food Stores! We’re not just a beloved New England grocery store chain, oh no. We’re a ruckus, an organic carrot utopia, a community-owned institution, a pungent aroma of artisanal vinegar and local cheese that never apologizes for what it is, a row of bulk granola bins shining in the morning sun, a glimmer of hope in the eyes of a shopper longing for a store without cart corrals (does ANYONE actually use these things?). We’re an ever-evolving grocery maelstrom churning around a locally sourced honey jar circling a mystery. We’re here. You’re here. Let’s make some sandwiches.

Flash Sale Coming 2/27 • That’s Feb. 27 • Like totally not some other day

Co-op Flash Sale Coming Soon

  • Flash Sales—massive savings on one ridiculously specific product for one day only, while supplies last.
  • Us: We love Flash Sales, yes we do! We love Flash Sales, how ’bout you???
  • You: We love Flash Sales, yes we do! We love Flash Sales, how ’bout you???
  • (Repeat)

Your burning questions answered:

A: On Friday, Feb. 27, we’re throwing a Flash Sale for something so cult-status it’s basically a sweeping social movement with better seasoning. We aren’t allowed to tell you what the product is yet, mostly because our marketing people have “feelings” about “building buzz.” (Lame.) But stay tuned, as all the deets are coming soon.

A: Technically, it’s a sale. But in a deeper, more profound sense, it’s a test of your reflexes and your ability to horde a popular product offered at a price that we probably shouldn’t even tell Finance about.

A: Yerp. That’s why we like to call them Flash Sale Fridays. (Oh, the alliteration!)

New Local Product! Goodman’s Pizza

Because apparently, good pizza has to impress people from New Jersey.

Listen, we know your freezer is currently a desolate graveyard of vast, unidentified leftovers and a single, frost-bitten pea. You deserve better. You deserve Goodman’s American Pie!

FEATURES

The Local Pedigree: Handmade with love in small batches by great people in Vermont. So local you can actually taste the lack of “Big Pizza” corporate bureaucracy.

Co-op Staff Approved: Rigorously tested by our team during “break times” that definitely lasted longer than 15 minutes. We’ve done the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

“This frozen pizza is so delicious it tastes like pizza in New Jersey!” –Co-op employee from New Jersey

Today, Alaffia handcrafts sustainable skin and hair care products using fair trade ingredients with no animal testing, ever. They also partner with The Global Alliance for Community Empowerment to invest in fair trade, maternal care, and child education.
