The Meet Locker
Now OPEN for lunch, mini-meetings, coffee breaks, and visiting with friends
Take a few steps further back into the Co-op and into history. Across the hall from the kitchen, you will step into an old ice cooled meat locker that has been turned into the Co-op's new indoor eating area --- which is now known as "The Meet Locker". A gathering place for friends.
