Dear Members and Customers,
The Olympia Food Co-op is conducting a
survey that will be used in a market study for the expansion of the
Eastside store. The market study is part of a feasibility study that
will begin soon.
What’s a feasibility study?
The feasibility study is designed to
help us figure out if it makes sense to expand and remodel our
Eastside store, based on the Co-op’s needs and resources. A few
years back, the Co-op purchased the lot adjacent to the Eastside
store. With the help of a consultant, the feasibility study will help
us identify what we can build there and how we can remodel our
existing building.
What’s a market study?
In order to
determine how the project can benefit the Co-op and its members, we
need to understand the market in which operate. The market study will
provide information about current and potential competition, trends
in the natural food industry within our region, potential new
customers/members, etc.
The Survey
This survey is a preliminary step for
the market study and we ask two questions: “What is your full
address?” and “How much did you spend here today?” This
information is to identify the area from which the co-op draws its
customers, so it is not necessary to ask for your name.
Thank you so much for being willing to
participate in this survey. We will keep you informed along this
process.
If you have questions or comments, feel
free to contact the Expansion Committee at
expansion@olympiafood.coop.
Cooperatively,
The Co-op Expansion Committee
