From the Mailbag

Q: I’ve seen fork, knives, etc. made of corn – even drinking cups – at other whole food bars. Can we get those here? Also- a different package for the cakes and sandwiches. Thank you!

A: We are always looking for better packaging. We work with the NCGA (National Cooperative Grocers Association) on a purchasing program with other co-ops. We are looking at sugar cane products, some paper board catering trays and sandwich containers now. Corn is not a black and white issue. We are looking for other options.

Q: Please put coupons by sale products. It was found before and was great. Thank you for your time.

A: Great idea! We have got them in front of the products now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Q: Boombalattis Ice Cream! You use to carry it!

A: We love Boombalattis also. They unfortunately are not able (right now) to support sales of their product outside of the store.

Q: It would be fantastically wonderful to see some homemade ‘rice crispies’ treats made in the kitchen. Yum Yum!

A: We’ll let the baker know. Look for them as a sweet treat.

Q: What happened to the evening hot bar? Bring it back!

A: Thanks for your input we will have hot selctions after 3pm again this fall. We lost too much money with waste – not many people visited the hot bar in the late afternoons/evenings. We have more choices on the grab & go.

Q: Sushi on hot/salad bar?

A: Making it in house right now isn’t feasible. We have looked into sushi but do not have enough space to accommodate their programs.
