| - Not much here. From what I understand, this is a second location of a Madison institution that just opened. It's a Co-op, if you are a member, you can save some money, if you just wander in like me, because you are bored, you end up paying more. Oh well. I went here on the same morning I went to Metcalfe's.
I like this place better than Metcalfe's. In fact, if I lived here, I would prefer to shop here, the products are more appealing, they are focusing on Madison items, and if you shopped at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and then the Co-op, who needs Metcalfe's? They better keep that free paper going or there is no reason for them.
Anyway, the Co-op sold bread from the Madison SourDough Company. They sold Sprech...(??) some kind of local root beer. They had fresh pasta, they sold Bell and Evans chicken and turkeys. They had some fresh bagels, their cheese selection appeared to be well stocked.
Apparently, everything in Madison has to be done in duplicate. If the east side or downtown has one, there has to be one on the west side. I still haven't figured out why, since it takes you five minutes, maybe ten in traffic to drive from one end of Madison to the other, but in keeping the tradition alive and well, the Will Street Co-op has obliged and opened its west location. Enjoy it.
