Work on the Co-op Creamery at 2601 E. Franklin Ave. is in full swing. In late January, co-op administrative staff moved into the second floor offices. This move has helped to alleviate space constraints at the Franklin store offices. The staff at the Creamery will support all Seward locations.

On the first floor of the building, construction has begun on the central production kitchen and Co-op Creamery Neighborhood Café. We recently finalized the branding and aesthetics of the café, including a new logo, with the help of our architects at LHB and designers at Replace.

Throughout the next several months, the first floor will begin to take shape, as new windows are installed and the interior is finished. We plan to be ready to begin food production as early as July, with an eye towards opening the café in September.

As with the Friendship store, we’ll post several new positions for Creamery staff. Check our careers page for updates. Be sure to visit our project expansion page and watch for future emails with more updates.
