| - The Willy Street Co-op on the North Side of Madison started off a bit shaky, but now things seem much better. I've noticed that business has picked up too, and the product selection definitely keeps getting more diverse. I think the Co-op is finally reaching that balance between selection, quality and affordability to fit everyone's needs. It will be amazing when the Double Dollar program returns, which is a really great, helpful option for many Madison residents.
It's also really nice to be able to pick up some beer or wine, and not have to make another trip afterwards. That's always been slightly annoying when visiting Willy East. The North location also has a great hot bar, and a lot of gifts and useful household tools/products. Every time I visit this location, I notice something new or useful, and usually end up purchasing it.
The North Side Co-op really does have everything I want, and the new outdoor seating is an added bonus. I've also heard that they will be adding a Juice Bar to this location soon! I also need to recognize the staff members at Willy North, as they are always friendly and willing to help you out. This helps create a warm, welcoming environment.
In fact, this is now my preferred location, and I skip the overcrowded East location altogether.
And the shopping center that includes the Co-op seems to be thriving, which is really great to see for our neighbors on the North Side. And a new Japanese restaurant, Bistro Honda, is now where the coffee shop was next to Benvenuto's Italian Grill!
I honestly have no complaints about this location, and highly recommend it.
