Seward To Go Delivery by Soderberg’s Florist and Gifts

As part of Seward To Go, our contactless shopping service, the co-op now offers delivery service in partnership with local, woman-owned business Soderberg’s Florist and Gifts. Curbside Pickup has been available to all shoppers since early April. Delivery is another contactless, easy option for community members to safely get their groceries. Seward To Go is not only a convenient way to shop co-op essentials, but also provides another way to invest in a more equitable local economy and healthy community! Delivery is available for addresses in Minneapolis and select ZIP codes in St. Paul.

About Soderberg’s Florist & Gifts

Soderberg’s Florist & Gifts has been on Lake Street for 97 years and has been a go-to florist in South Minneapolis for generations. The floral shop is now owned by Kym Erickson, who was employed as the general manager for 15 years before recently taking over ownership. Like the Seward Co-op, Soderberg’s Florist & Gifts believes in sustaining a healthy community. This can be seen in many of their business practices. They believe in paying staff a living wage. All positions start at $15/hour, a change Erickson implemented before the City of Minneapolis required employers to do so. Soderberg’s Florist & Gifts invests in the local economy by prioritizing local distributors and buying flowers directly from area farms during the growing season whenever possible. They also compost most of their waste to reduce their environmental impacts.

Co-op Staff Make Seward To Go Possible

Behind the scenes, co-op staff work diligently to make Seward To Go possible. Co-op administrative staff swiftly developed an online store. On a daily basis, a team of dedicated staff shop orders (carefully selecting produce and hand-picking substitutions), safely brings groceries out to shoppers’ cars, works with Soderberg’s to ensure timely deliveries, and much more. In store, co-op staff facilitate social distancing, stock shelves full of the items we love, and offer excellent customer service. The work of all co-op staff helps to ensure that members of our community have efficient and safe options to get their groceries.

There are many choices when it comes to where you spend your grocery budget. We continue to be grateful to our community of co-op owners for their continued investment in and patronage of our co-op. Whenever you shop the co-op in store or online, you not only support the growers and makers whose products you find on our shelves, but you also make an investment in our co-op staff and community.
