Wheatsville Co-op Austin, TX

[Dan Gillotte <gm AT wheatsville.coop>]

Holy smokes this month is exciting! It is Co-op month after all!

We are gearing up for one of our favorite days of the year! Owner Appreciation Day! This Saturday, the 20th, is your 10% discount day. The discount is available all day long, but, to sweeten the deal, we'll have samples from 12-4 throughout the store! If you've had friends that haven't yet joined Wheatsville, now is the time! They can become an owner this week and get the 10% discount on Saturday if they shop, so let 'em know!

We've got tickets available now for the most awesome Fall Owner Gathering Movie Night!
Here are the details:
Tuesday Oct. 23rd from 6:30-9:30 at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar! If you want to attend, you must get your free tickets in advance at the registers NOW! Two free tickets per owner.

The program includes an opportunity to meet the board and board candidates, an expansion/ renovation project update with the architects and contractor and a cool feature length documentary called Independent America.

Independent America follows a reporter couple  as they travel across the US using just back roads and only "Mom and Pop" and independent businesses. Check out the trailer and find out more: http://www.independentamerica.net/

In addition to the fun program, all ticket holders will get their choice of some appetizers and a drink. So, make a plan to get your tickets today and come on out to movie night and owner gathering!

Seating is limited, so please plan to get your ticket ASAP!

I'm still really proud that Wheatsville was chosen as Best Neighborhood Grocery in the Austin Chronicle's Best of Austin Poll. Your co-op staff work very hard each day to make Wheatsville a better and better place to shop, so it's really great to get the acknowledgment! I hope you feel proud of your co-op, too!

I really hope to see you at one of the upcoming events!
