The Co-op's floor repair project begins in earnest tomorrow, Monday, June 14th! All week long, work crews will be fixing up the flooring in the back of the store. The sales floor itself won't be affected, but there are a few things we want all our customers to be aware of:
Limited Parking
We will have limited parking for the next two weeks, as roughly half of our lot (all the spots alongside the store) will be taken up by the vehicles and equipment of the work crews. All the spots adjacent to 8th Street, though, will remain open to customers. This leads us to:
One Way Parking Lot
To help manage this new situation, and to keep everyone safe in our parking lot, we are implementing a common-sense rule to keep traffic moving smoothly:
All vehicles must enter the Co-op parking lot from Main Street and exit onto 8th Street.
This simple change should keep us all moving in the same direction while the Co-op fixes up the floors.
No Public Restroom
While the back-of-store floors are being worked on, the Co-op's public restroom will be unreachable and unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Some Additional Out-of-Stocks
To prepare for this big floor fix, we've had to remove everything from the back of our store and find other places for it. This has significantly reduced our product storage space. We will do our best to make sure we have all your favorite items, but we hope you'll be patient with us during this as we work through this time of renewal.
Working Together
We know that many of these changes are inconvenient. They are, however, temporary, and all in service a great goal: making your Co-op better! Repairing and refinishing the back-of-store floors will make the Co-op a safer and more comfortable place to work (to say nothing of how much better the floors will look). We hope you'll be patient and understanding with the temporary changes, the extra noise, and any unexpected occurences that may crop up, because in the end, we know it will be worth it!
