Wow! The last four days have been amazing. We had a mega moving sale on Saturday, November 10th where we doubled any previous day in sales. Fourth of July is no match for moving a Co-op in stormy November. Carts were heaping and folks were enthusiastic. It was wild and crazy but a great way to see the old Co-op off.
On Sunday, we had lots of volunteers to pack and move products and stuff to our temporary location. On Monday, we continued the pack and move routine plus the cooler and freezer guys arrived bright and early to relocate all of our cooling equipment. The guys from Gartner Refrigeration have been great, they even moved our safe which would have broken a lot of back if we tried to get it out the door. Having the right moving equipment makes all the difference in the world. The County Plumbing and Hunt Electricians have also been hard at work making sure that everything is up to code and working for an excellent shopping experience.
We have almost everything in the "new" temporary space at 2066 West Hwy 61, Grand Marais, MN. (Gunnar's, Howling Wolf, Bowling Alley/Chinese Restauant --- now Co-op!) Our phones are hooked up and ringing at the new location. We're unpacking boxes and getting everything up to code. We had originally planned to open this Friday, but the Health Inspector cannot make it until Monday, November 19th so we have some extra time to spiff up the place for Thanksgiving Shopping.
We look forward to see you shopping in the new temporary space. Stop in and pick up your Thanksgiving Turkey on Monday!
