Everyone at the Co-op is basking in the golden glow of once again winning Best Grocery Store and Best Health Food Shop in Bellingham Alive! magazine’s annual Best of the Northwest reader poll.
At the Co-op we take pride in the fact that local isn’t just a tagline and sustainability isn’t just a talking point. It is simply the way we do business with care and conscience.
We sincerely appreciate your votes, support, and recognition of the Co-op—Whatcom County’s only community-owned grocery store.
Our member-owners help us achieve the high standards we set for quality products, superior customer service, community giving, support of local farms and small businesses, providing an exemplary workplace, and, of course, fresh, delicious, organic, made-from-scratch food and baked goods prepared daily in the Co-op kitchens.
We are your Co-op. You own it. So, congratulations … you also won GOLD!
