Willy Street Co-op

$5 Dinners
Thanks to all who came to our $5 Dinners in August and September. We served over 400 meals at the first event, even with having to move inside during the rainy last hour.

We got the idea from Durham Food Co-op in North Carolina, and we’re glad to make this community event happen here. As of this writing, we plan to continue $5 Dinners on the third Thursday of the month; menus will vary. Watch willystreet.coop/events, in-store signage, Facebook or Twitter for details.

October is a good time to become an Owner
If you’re not yet a Co-op Owner and you choose to join by Oct. 22, you’ll be able to receive the incredible sale prices we’re offering for Owner Appreciation (Oct. 22–28). Check our website, social media or in-store posters for more information about these sales. We’ll also be serving birthday cake, offering giveaways and prizes and even more free samples than usual during Owner Appreciation.

It only takes five minutes to become an Owner and you start receiving the benefits that day, including daily, weekly and monthly Owner-only sales; discounts on classes; a 10 percent discount on most products when you pre-order a case; and a voice in how your Co-op is run.

Stop at the Customer Service desk in the store for more information, or visit willystreet.coop.
