Dear Co-op Shoppers,

Lately, we have been getting a lot of questions about product availability. As many of you are aware, supply chains have been struggling ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began. While some things have improved, the industry as a whole has not yet recovered and our wholesale distributors, as well as the manufacturers of the products being distributed, are finding it difficult to keep up with demand. As a result, the Co-op has experienced a significant number of Out-of-Stocks, which is evident by the holes on our shelves and handfuls of items not arriving on our Buying Club deliveries each week. We apologize for the inconvenience but want you all to know that we are doing our best to keep your favorite items stocked and find substitutions whenever possible. 

If you are ordering from our Buying Club (UNFI only) and are wondering when your Out-of-Stock item will be available, you can check out this list of Long-Term Out-of-Stocks for an estimated restock date. If you can’t find a specific item listed there, it’s likely that it will return to the warehouse sooner rather than later and you should continue to reorder until it becomes available again.

If you have any other questions, concerns or would like me to check on the status of a specific product, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, by email: buyer@potsdamcoop.com or call the store and ask to speak to Jessie: (315) 265-4630. 

Cooperatively, 

Jessie LaRose, Lead Buyer
