New Store Concept Plans

On Tuesday, June 12th the board of directors and myself met with our design team from Builders Commonwealth.  We discussed green building strategies, the look and feel of the store and saw a new concept plan for the store.  There is still some tweaking to do, but the board was happy with the look of the new store and the proposed materials.  There are copies of the plans available for viewing in the eating area of the Co-op.  Stop by and have a look. Let us know what you think about the plans.

Owner Loan Program Launched

We sent out brochures about our Owner Loan Program today and are ready to start borrowing money.  Owners have already pledged $34,000 to our Owner Loan Program.  We hope to raise $600,000 by August 31, 2012 to help fund our expansion project.  The minimum investment amount is $1,000 and interest rates range from 2-5%.  If you would like more information about our Offering, please stop by the Co-op and ask a cashier for an Owner Loan Packet.  You may also give us a call at 218-387-1939 if you have any questions or would like an Owner Loan Packet mailed to you.
