Finally, a new location for the Co-op’s premises – map follows at the end of this post.
Our new, temporary location is in the car park behind The Conservation Council demountable on Childers St. The building will be rotated 180 degrees so that The Co-op will be at the northern end and Canberra Dance Theater will be at the southern end. This is to allow for truck access to our ramp and loading areas for deliveries. Since we will be in a car park, there will obviously be parking available but I currently do not know whether there will be any allocated, free parking or not.
On Monday, September 13, the crew from Baulderstone will start to dismantle this building. Since it needs to be vacant by that date, we will start to empty it as soon as we have containers delivered to the car park behind this building. I should have a date for the delivery next week. Please remember that any member assistance is welcomed and anyone who notifies me of this will be informed as soon as I am able to draw up a roster with exact dates.
Baulderstone has said we can take possession of the re-located premises on approximately September 24, since this is a Friday, we may use that following weekend to re-stock and open for business as usual on Tuesday, September 28. I will confirm this later.
Thank you for your patience and continued custom during this pre-move period. Inevitably we have had to run down our stock in preparation for moving. But now that we have an exact date, I have gotten in a good supply of fresh fruit and vegetables for you to stock up on. Also we are having a special on fresh noodles. 450gm packs of fresh Absolute Organic Soba, Hokkien and Udon noodles are $2.85 per pack before any member’s discounts. I know what my family is having for dinner.
