A local longtime grocrey co-op is bidding customers adieu, after financial struggles. The board and members of Wintergreen Foods Co-op voted recently to close the store after years of lagging sales due to changing shopping habits, a press release from the co-op stated. Officials said the co-op was no longer able to continue operations without a drastic change. Wintergreen has provided members and nonmembers with natural, local and organic foods for 46 years. The store will close by May 31.
