Hospitality News

We do so much more than wave hi when you walk in and shout ‘Later!” when you leave. This is your Wheatsville 411. It’s where you sign up to become a new owner, make returns, talk about job opportunities, find out the wi-fi password or sample something new.

We always have copies of the Co+op Deals, Fresh Deals, and Owner Deals on hand. Hand us your containers and we’ll measure your tare weight for your bulk shopping. Buy a gift card. Hit us with your suggestions, complain about the weather, add something to the Wheatsville Wish List or fill out an I Love Wheatsville form. Whew, anything else? Oh yeah, this is our lost and found.

2022 Wheatsville Wrap-up

As we bring the year to a close, we want to take a look back at some of the events that helped shape a truly memorable year at your co-op. 2022 was not without its challenges but with the help of a great staff and a supportive community we achieved some truly wonderful things.
