We have an exciting update about our Eastside Store. The Eastside has been enjoying strong growth in sales over the last several years and is truly bursting at the seams! In order to better serve our members, we need to expand our current footprint, however, our objective to expand is greatly complicated by the limited size of our current lot. Our lot is simply too small to allow for a feasible expansion.

Sometimes timing is everything! Recently, we became aware that the house and lot across Lansdale street was going on the market. The Board and staff acted quickly to acquire the property and we are pleased to announce that the Co-op now owns it!

Purchasing this additional property opens up great possibilities for expanding our Eastside Store. The Staff and Board will now begin a planning process to determine the most optimal use of this additional space, as well as planning the store expansion. Some possibilities include staff parking, staff offices, and warehouse space.  For now, we will be completing some minimal work to ensure it is safe and secure.

The Board and staff are excited at the prospects of expanding The Eastside store and upgrading all of our facilities to make them more environmentally friendly. The purchase of this additional property will make that much more possible.
