Our top priority is ensuring the health and safety of our staff, members, shoppers and class attendees. In the interest of our community, and based on decisions made by other local and national organizations regarding social distancing and gatherings of 10 or fewer, we have decided to cancel all cooking and community classes through the end of May 2020.

If you have signed up for a class, we have cancelled your seat(s) and will issue class credit or a refund to the original form of payment. Due to the quantity of orders, please allow up to 6 weeks for credit or refunds to apply. Our Class Specialist will be in contact with you.

Being able to serve as a reliable resource for food and supplies during inclement weather, crisis and otherwise is a role we proudly accept as grocers. If we can keep our doors open, we do. Your co-op remains open 7 a.m.-10 p.m. seven days a week. Contact the co-op at 785-843-8544 or ownerservices@themerc.coop.
