Hooray—We’ve Broken Ground For Our 2nd Store

With permits in hand as of late November, we’re now ready to roll on this project. Located at the corner of Cordata Parkway and Westerly Road in north Bellingham, the new store will feature state-of-the-art produce, meat, and deli departments, as well as a kitchen classroom and community meeting room.

“Our membership has doubled to nearly 12,000 over the past decade and our Forest Street store is busting at the seams,” said Co-op general manager Jeff Voltz. “We are taking this opportunity to expand our presence to create greater community access to the wonderful foods and services we provide.”

The new building will be constructed by Pearson Construction Corporation, with primary financing through the Whatcom Educational Credit Union. The grand opening is scheduled for summer 2009.

Welcome to the Community Food Co-op, downtown Bellingham’s natural grocer. What began in 1970 in Fairhaven as a 900-square-foot store with fewer than 10 items has grown to an 11,000-member-strong natural grocery store. We encourage you to participate by shopping, joining, and building and supporting a sustainable, vibrant community.

You’ll find organic produce, meat and seafood, wine, an exciting deli, a juice & espresso bar, great housewares and fun stuff, bulk items, natural and organic grocery items, baked goods, dairy, and supplements and wellness products. Welcome and enjoy!

Local Roots

The Co-op is Local—and Always Has Been

From our earliest beginnings more than 30 years ago, the Co-op has had strong ties to local suppliers—offering local vegetables and fruits and many other locally produced items. As we’ve grown, our repertoire of local items has also grown.

We’re now highlighting more of our local producers. Watch for shelf tags with our new Local Roots logo—identifying products throughout the store that are grown or produced locally. And watch for new profiles on some of our local producers in the store and on our website.

We know the importance of our “local roots.”
