Clear Creek Food Cooperative

We’re going for it.  There are still plenty of things about the new Coop that need to be planned out and decided, but we hear from our customers and supporters that they’re ready for us to open our doors and invite the community in to our new space.

So, the Clear Creek Food Coop will have our first day of regular hours on Saturday, December 5th, from 10 AM to 6 PM!  We may not have a full inventory yet, but we will be hosting a Holiday Bazaar where you can buy crafts and gift items from local artists, come see the new store, and talk with us about the future of the Coop.  (And we’re conveniently located just a block from Morrisson-Reeves Library, so make sure you stop by the Alternative Gift Fair happening there that same day from 1 PM to 4 PM.)

We’ll see you at the Coop!

Following our board meeting this morning, I’m excited to announce that the Clear Creek Food Cooperative has officially hired Kiersten Aubre-Howard as our new Store Manager.  Some of you know that Kiersten has already been giving her passion and time to the Coop for many years and has coordinated much of our recent transition work, so this is a natural and exciting fit.  We congratulate Kiersten and thank her for her service!

The Co-op is still actively working to open our store at its new location, 710 East Main Street in Richmond.  We’re having a work day this coming Saturday, November 14th at 10 AM (until 1 PM or however long you can stay).  During this time we’ll have volunteer opportunities that include helping to get the store shelving ready, putting together a membership and ownership structure for the new Coop, starting on marketing activities, beginning the cashier hiring process, and much more.  We hope you can join us - just show up, or contact us if you have any questions.

Stay tuned to this website for future updates about the store’s grand opening, membership opportunities, and more.  Thanks!
