How your co-op is coping with this crisis 🌎
To our co-op members, customers, and staff:
After the Clarke County ordinance passed on March 19th, and in an effort to keep our staff and customers as safe as possible, while also still providing for our community, we are changing store hours, effective immediately.
Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays (days we get large deliveries), we will be open from 8am-7pm.
Tuesdays & Wednesdays, we will be open 10am-7pm.
Saturdays & Sundays, we will be open 10am-5pm.
These hours are still subject to change as our circumstances change, and we will keep you updated as best we can.
For the health and safety of everyone, we request that people attempt to adhere to the following guidelines:
Reserve the first hour of the business day for high-risk customers.
Even when waiting in the area outside our store, practice social distancing with customers and staff.
Use credit or debit cards whenever possible instead of cash.
Use the hand sanitizer provided. We also have gloves available.
We will be offering curbside pickup for customers, which will require payment over the phone with a card. This service is for all customers, not just members. For curbside pickup, email orders@daily.coop with your list and your phone number, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please allow up to 24 hours for an order to be fulfilled. Check our website for inventory lists, and be aware that some items may be out of stock or unavailable.
Besides curbside pick-up, we also have limited delivery through Cosmic Delivery, which you can access via their website. For members, we can also do special orders, which you can pick up at the store, or have curbside pick-up.
Finally, and most importantly: we are no longer allowing customers in the store. Our little co-op is too small to allow staff and customers to manage their space in a healthy manner. We are setting up a POS terminal at the front door, where we can take your orders. Anything that we have in the store is available to shop for. Our staff will simply pick and pack your order themselves; you will pay at the front door; and then you will pick up your bag at the side door on Pope Street. This is a big experiment, but one that we hope will work for all stakeholders. Think of it as going back to the days of full-service general stores.
Stay posted for more details and circumstances for all of our community continues to change.
Thank you for your support during these uncertain times. Be safe. Be well. Be excellent to each other.
