They are located at the far end of our parking lot next to our trash bins.

Dearest Cooperative Community of Greensboro,

The time is right for changes and an abundance of patience! 

After seven months of waiting for the delivery of the front doors, we have been notified of (hopefully) the last delay. We were hoping they would get here this month but now the demo is slated for late November and doors are expected to arrive December 7th and hopefully will slip right into the new frames. We will begin with the removal of register one and then the rebuilding will begin. The plan is to do this in phases, so please be prepared for changes in traffic flow in and out of the store, possible noise, and confused people. Let’s all help each other get through it gracefully. I promise that this will be over soon and once the floor is redone and the tree reinstalled, we can all breathe a sigh of relief at having our Co-op back together again. Other changes being planned include a bathroom remodel with individual locking bathrooms. The issue as I understand it now is that all three would have to be handicap accessible and there isn’t enough room to make that happen. So we are rethinking how to do it. The waste center will get a facelift too. The plan is to be more user and earth-friendly with composting and proper recycling with a sink for handwashing and container rinsing. This is way more complicated than you would think it should be. Stayed tuned for more details to come.

I just got back from the Co-op Impact Conference in Washington DC. It is hosted by NCBA (The National Cooperative Business Association) and CLUSA International (The Cooperative League of the United States of America). It was my first time attending and I have come home so inspired by all of the great work going on in the co-op world from housing to healthcare to worker-owned cooperation. I was even given the last-minute opportunity to Hike the Hill and lobby for the cooperative movement with several Legislative Directors! The real co-op magic was happening as I was prepared for this because of a class that I am currently taking with Dr. Etsuko Kinefuchi, Environmental Advocacy, at UNCG. What an amazing gathering of genius cooperators worldwide and an amazing experience to advocate in person on Capitol Hill! 

No one knows everything, but together we know a lot!

See you in the aisles,

Nicole, GM

The beautiful fall colors are an apt metaphor for your Deep Roots Market Board of Directors. Each person is different with unique talents all aligned to ensure Deep Roots Market remains vibrant today and in the years to come.

At our annual retreat and monthly board meetings we celebrate the creative ways in which staff have met many challenges in recent years to keep local, organic, healthy foods moving from area farmers to you. In the coming months, we’ll be working on the messaging and financial needs necessary to tout the value of Deep Roots Market more broadly.

Thank you for joining us in the commitment to promote our Co-op as a nourishing economic model for a strong democracy and thriving community. 

In Cooperation,

Spoma Jovanovic, on behalf of the Deep Roots Market Board of Directors

Dear Cooperative Community,

I wanted to take a few moments to touch base and let you all know what is going on with your precious beautiful Co-op.

Have you noticed that it is a little noisier in here than usual? It is also drier than normal. This is all due to the new dehumidification system installed last week by Kemco of Burlington. We have struggled with overly humid conditions in the store, especially in the summer months, for more than 10 years now. It has caused countless equipment issues, extra labor, and product loss. A big thank you to the landlords from North Eugene Partners for making this happen!

Kirkland Construction on the rebuild of the foyer will begin soon. It will start with Jim Gallucci’s team removing the bespoke Co-op Tree sculpture so the demo and reconstruction can start in late October. The new doors should arrive during that time. I suspect that entry into the Co-op will change a couple of times before we are all put back together. Please have patience and bear with us as we move through this challenging time.

Speaking of challenging times, since moving downtown in 2013, it seems like we have moved non-stop from one serious difficulty to the next. Remember the Greenway construction that seemed like it would never end? The best part about the challenges is that they make us better in so many different ways. Every city wishes that they had a Cooperative grocery store downtown on a Greenway that connects it to so many trails! We have moved through the worst of the challenges and we not only survived, but we are doing better than ever before. I just paid off another Owner Loan last week, our sales are at their highest to date, and it seems as if more and more people are learning about the importance of co-ops to the local economy and as a business model of sustainability. All of that coupled with Greensboro’s growth horizon, your Co-op is poised for great future success!

In order for us to get there without burning out our hardworking staff, we need more capital. We want to get all of the Owner Loans paid off as soon as possible, fill in the gap of funds from insurance for construction, do a bathroom remodel to have individual locking restrooms, create a new trash center with a sink to properly recycle and compost, and one day, expand the kitchen to offer more of what you love. We will launch a fundraiser as soon as I get the estimates for the work to set a goal.

The vision of a thriving bustling downtown Cooperative grocer is already in the works, and your Co-op will have so much more to offer you and our community. We will reach these goals and celebrate together!

See you in the aisles,
Nicole Villano, GM
