Fredericksburg Food Co-op now open

After years of grassroots efforts by a large number of people in our community, the Fredericksburg Food Co-op opened its doors to the public Thursday afternoon.

The Co-op is located at 320 Jefferson Davis Highway in the Lee Plaza shopping center. The community-owned, full-service grocery store has just over 1,900 members at the time of this writing. Non-members will also be able to shop at the store.

Numerous people were waiting outside the doors when the store first opened at 1 p.m. Thursday. The Co-op planned to remain open until 9 p.m. Thursday.

We congratulate everyone who was involved with this undertaking, and encourage people to go check out the store. It looks great!
