FAQs
Is the co-op taking any preventative measures for the health and safety of staff and customers from Coronavirus?
In short, yes. Read here.
Do you offer delivery?
Yes! Currently we are offering home delivery to customers within a 8 mile radius of our Coralville store - including Iowa City and North Liberty shoppers. We also offer this service from our Cedar Rapids location within 5 miles of our store.
Can I bring in my reusable bags?
Yes – we have lifted our no-bags policy from the pandemic. You may bring in reusable bags for use at checkout. However, reusable containers for our bulk area are not permitted at this time.
Do I have to be a member to shop here?
Nope, you can shop at the Co-op without being a member, you just receive extra perks if you become one.
I heard the Co-op is expensive. Do you have any lower price products?
That’s a common perception that was true years ago. But we’ve actually lowered our prices by up to 50% on 500+ staple groceries through our Co-op Basics program.
When comparing organic to organic, we are often better priced on items than other stores in town and support a wider selection of locally grown items as well.

We also support the Double Up Food Bucks program where low-income families can earn an extra local produce dollar for every produce dollar they spend. Learn about Double Up.
How is the Co-op different from a regular grocery store?
Great question! The biggest difference is that we are owned by over 30,000 shoppers which has allowed us to source groceries in a radically different way. We support more local growers and producers than any other store in the corridor. We have the largest selection of organic options – storewide. All of our meats are humanely raised and sustainably fished. And none of our products feature artificial colors, flavors or ingredients. For more information read Why We Love Being a Co-op.
