“Wow, from a customer's view- I'd like to address a few of the more negative comments so as prospective customers aren't swayed by some of the negativity- - cleanliness- don't confuse dirty for old- this is an older country store, but kept well, and food service, where it counts, is clean and tidy- The floors aren't new and there isn't five state of the art bathrooms with artwork hanging- if thats your thing you are in the wrong place to begin with. You are getting gas and a coffee, not attending a gallery opening. Service- have some of the negative reviewers ever considered you may be the problem and not the workers? I've been coming here for 20 plus years, consider it one of my favorite stores, and can't really pick out a bad interaction- like anything else, maybe it goes both ways Price- its a country / convenience store- I would imagine they can't compete with the walmarts of the world, its not cheap but I find it inline with any other operation of the type- yes prices have gone up, as they have everywhere So to recap, great deli, great hours for a country store, great selection (from a sandwich, to fishing lures, to canning jars, to hardware, to gas, you get the idea), friendly service, and almost always run into a neighbor or friend to catch up with. Just go in with a reasonable attitude, don't expect it to be a new megamart, and I bet you will have a good experience.”

“The merging of a hardware store and a food coop is a novel and hopefully winning concept. They are still filling out their inventory, but they've had a great start so far. I expect the Coop will continue to grow and thrive.”
