In the November newsletter’s GM report, Anya will share that we have determined that our juice production is not financially viable.
“It is with some sadness that I have to report that we will end production of all Willy Street Co-op juices as of November 15th of this year. We will continue to make Co-op teas and cold brew.
“When we removed the Juice & Coffee Bar counter service at each store, we moved production to Willy West. Since then, the ingredients and labor costs have increased significantly, which required us to increase our prices and shrink the juice bottle size to try to break even. Not surprisingly, as the prices increased, sales of our Co-op juices decreased.
“While nothing can replace our juices, we are sourcing products to replace our in-house products.”
