Prairie Food Co-op’s Big Announcement

By Jerry Nash

It’s been years in the making and our hard work has finally paid off! We are thrilled to announce our store’s official location at 837 S Westmore-Meyers Rd, Lombard, in the Eastgate Shopping Center! We have searched extensively for the perfect location for Prairie Food Co-op and we can honestly state that there is no better site for our store in Lombard. 

It has an enormous parking lot! This not only means that you’ll never have to search for a spot when you come to shop, but it also means we can host a variety of outdoor events right at the store.

It has multiple points of entry that help the flow of customers entering and exiting the store, which is a very important aspect of a successful grocery store.

We are “bumping out” the outdoor space in front of our store and will have a sizable outdoor patio where you’ll be able to grab a coffee or a bite to eat from the store and relax outside.

We will also be able to incorporate more of the sustainable and aesthetic details we had originally planned for.

The whole shopping center is getting renovated and updated, and Prairie Food Co-op will be a significant part of the rejuvenation of this once-bustling mall.

We can start delivering on our mission to provide a marketplace for more locally, sustainably produced food.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us make it to this point - board members, volunteers, owners, and investors - we did it together. And we couldn't be more excited about the future of PFC!
