Happy New Year – Winter Co-op Newsletter
Hello Sevananda MemberOwners! Happy New You! It’s been a whirlwind of a year! I can’t believe it’s over… Lots of accomplishments, and of course, challenges. There was growth and transformation and a lot of CHANGES! Thanks for taking yet another ride with us! We hope that you have noticed the many changes that we’ve initiated and that you are enjoying them. Comment cards are placed throughout the store. Please be sure to fill them out and give to us so that we know what’s on your mind and what improvements are most important to you. We’re very excited about the latest change, our new Produce Department Makeover Part 1. On the horizon is Part 2 which will serve to improve presentation and merchandising throughout the department. We’re also making changes and improvements in our Deli Department and these developments will continue throughout the year. We closed our kitchen for a couple of days in December and we’ll be doing that again to continue the work and make much needed upgrades to our kitchen, equipment, and working environment. It’s very exciting!! Our Wellness and Grocery Departments had resets last year. We will continue to work on other cosmetic and convenience improvements for our member-owners and customers who frequent those departments. Special thanks to department staff who supported, as well as appreciation to key players who made special efforts toward the success of all transitions – Store Manager Ano Dennis, Grocery Manager Brian Jackson, NCG Center Store Retail Specialist Tom Snyder, NCG Produce Specialist Joshua Crone, Wellness Manager Kim Purefoy, Produce Manager Keene Shipmon, and produce clerk/store support Andy Harrison, store support clerk Matt Baron, and produce clerk Akil Amen and Randall Roberts, Deli Assistant. Sevananda Natural Foods Market is creating new partnerships for stronger impact within our community and our youth. We embarked upon a few new partnerships this year that were a lot of work, but were also a lot of fun! Our non-profit Sevananda Community Health Foundation will be supporting more community partnerships and projects this year, in support of children, wellness, art, and co-op education. Be the Change will become a factor of the foundation and will offer nonprofit partners an opportunity to round up dollars at the register, tabling in the store, promotion on our website and email campaigns, a bulletin board display near the registers and more!
