Willy Street Co-op

Juice bar and made-to-order sandwiches
Okay, we know we’ve said it before, but we really think that by the time you read this Willy North will have a juice bar. The made-to-order sandwich station will be opening soon. We ran into some construction delays that forced us to move the open date back a few times, but the project is moving along nicely. You can find our menus at willystreet.coop/menus. We also post our hot bar menu there each day by 10 am.

Buy as much or as little as you need
At many stores, when they talk about buying in bulk, they mean buying large quantities. At Willy Street Co-op, we mean buying as much or as little as you need. You can find beans, grains, seeds, nuts, pastas, snacks, syrups and oils in the bulk aisle. In other areas of the store we offer tea, coffee, spices, kombucha, reverse osmosis water, soaps and shampoos in bulk, too.

Most products in the bulk aisle are lower-priced than prepackaged versions. The label on each product includes the price per pound and the PLU (price look-up code) that you should write on each bulk item you purchase. Free paper and plastic bags are available for dry goods, and round plastic containers are available for liquids. The round plastic containers can also be purchased for dry goods at 20 cents per container. Whether you just need a tablespoon of ground cinnamon, a cup of flour or 5 pounds of rice, we can help.
