The Co-op parking lot gets a lot of use. Massive trucks deliver the products you love every day. Customers bring their cars, vans, trucks, and buses through the lot 15 hours a day, seven days a week. All this use has taken its toll on the parking lot, and now we’re going to take some time to fix it back up. We are going to patch the many potholes, fill in cracks, sealcoat the whole thing, and clean it up. Of course, this takes some time and accommodations.
The Co-op PARKING LOT will be closed to everyone ALL DAY on Wednesday, May 8th, 2019.
The store itself will still be open regular hours, from 7am - 10pm. Street parking will be available, and for ONE DAY ONLY, there will be limited parking available across the street (northwest corner of 8th and Main).
We’re excited to be improving the lot and creating a better shopping experience for everyone, and we truly appreciate your patience as we get this done.
Until April 15th, shoppers can submit colored in copies of the above design to enter to win a $50 Gift Card to the Co-op, or other fantastic runner-up and participation prizes!
We will be awarding top prizes to participants in each of four categories:

Teens

Winners will be selected by the Co-op’s Board of Directors, and the results will be announced on Earth Day—April 22nd!
You can pick up coloring sheets at the Co-op, or download sheets here. Submit finished coloring sheets at the Front End of the Co-op before the April 15th deadline to be considered for a prize.
