Co-op
Sales Growth
By Laura Long and Bill London, from the February 2004 Newsletter
Since
the Moscow Food Co-op’s humble beginnings
in 1973, annual sales have reached $3.5 million. And following
the growth of Co-op
sales on the graph, there are several obvious conclusions.
First,
the Co-op has become a well-established business, an anchor store
in downtown Moscow.
Second,
when the Co-op moves to a larger location (as happened in 1975,
1978, 1989, and 1998), a significant increase in sales
results.
- 1973: Good Food Store opens for business
- 1975: Moscow Food Co-op moves to South Main St.
- 1978: Moscow Food Co-op moves to South Washington St.
- 1989: Moscow Food Co-op moves to West Third Street, former home
of Kentucky Fried Chicken
- 1993:
Moscow Food Co-op has it’s first
million dollar year
- 1998: Moscow Food Co-op signs a lease and remodels the East
Third Street store, our current home
- 1999: Moscow Food Co-op opens its doors for business
in January
- 2004: Moscow Food Co-op breaks the $3 million mark
with a bang and signs a 15 year lease for the East
