Wheatsville Food Co-op, Austin’s only community-owned grocery store, has completed our HUGE renovation project. Renovating and expanding a store like ours while remaining open to our many customers took a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication. Our staff, and 10,000+ owners deserve much credit in making this dream a reality. 

We now have 8,500 sq. feet of retail space, a wonderful new Deli, a full service Meat and Seafood counter, Hot Food & Salad Bar and a larger selection of locally produced items.

Wheatsville’s renovation project has incorporated many sustainable building techniques into the new store and offices, including a rainwater collection system, highly efficient refrigeration systems, ultra-low flow dual flush toilets, recycled glass and concrete countertops, recycled steel doors, re-use of bricks from our original building, recycled soda bottle carpets, natural lighting, and extensive recycling of construction waste among many other green efforts. We expect to get Austin Energy Green Builder program recognition for these efforts. We’re also proud that we’ve been able to add 25 ongoing jobs due to the renovation.

Come celebrate with us, Saturday, October 10, from 4:00–10:00pm.
We have lots of fun stuff planned for the whole family!
