We had 206 members order 2,285 items this cycle. Total purchases were about $12,700. That’s down about $2,500 from last cycle. Hopefully we can that number to grow with some additional promotions about our new main pick-up location.
We’ve been working hard to get our new space at 4944 Franklin Avenue in Des Moines ready. All the equipment was moved over from Merle Hay Mall last week. A new floor was installed late last week, and today the wiring was finished. Tomorrow we’ll place and plug in all the equipment, and at 3 pm the inspector comes so we can be licensed as a grocery store.
NOTE: If you got this message as an email, you’ve ordered something. Pick-up is on Thursday at our Des Moines-area sites and Osceola, and Friday is our pick-up in Ames.
