Co-op Offers Discount to Show Its Appreciation

Shoppers will get 5 percent off purchases at the on Wednesday for Patron Appreciation Day.

The only exceptions to the discount are gift certificates and postage stamps. And the discount applies to everyone, it's not an exclusive offer for members only.

Coupons will be honored on Patron Appreciation Day as well.

The co-op honors its patrons with a discount on the last Wednesday of every month, cash office manager John Mealey reported. The co-op has been offering the discount for as long as Mealey has been shopping there, and that's been about 30 years, he said.

It's the co-op's way of showing appreciation for people continuing to shop with them, Mealey said.
