We are gearing up for the final phase of our renovations, which includes an expansion of our refrigeration system at the Lawrence location. These updates support the growth of our high-performing categories such as produce, frozen foods, dairy, bakery, specialty cheese and deli grab-and-go meal solutions. By analyzing sales and product data, customer feedback, cost of goods, labor and operating costs as well as considering external factors like the pandemic and inflation, we identify both successful programs and those that are struggling. The co-op must remain agile as a business and respond to that data to secure the long-term health of our stores.
After July 12, the co-op will no longer offer a buffet-style lunch and dinner menu. Breakfast burritos, hot soups, salad bar, grab-and-go meal solutions, made-to-order sandwiches and roast chickens will continue to be available.
