One Location – The move to Route 2 is complete! Please excuse our appearance as we continue unpacking and settling in. We will never forget you, Plainfield Village Location!
Progress All Around – Much appreciation to our heroic General Manager, Jeannine DeWald, and all the hardworking, talented Co-op staff who have worked through all kinds of challenges the past several months. Thank you for your creativity and dedication!

POS System Challenges Resolved – We’re bringing in an expert to help merge all of our data—tens of thousands of items—into one point-of-sale (POS) system by mid-February. Vital to the operations of any retail business, our new POS system will scan items, process payments, offer Co-op member benefits, accept EBT transactions, and track inventory.
Sale of the Village Building – We received a professional appraisal of the building and we’re in contact with potential buyers. Once the Board negotiates the details of a potential sale, we will host meetings in person and on Zoom to share the plans and answer your questions. All real estate transactions require a vote of the members so stay tuned for details.
The village Co-op has been an important touchstone and gathering place for many, many people. We acknowledge the deep sadness that accompanies this sale. We also believe that the building, under new ownership, will continue to be an asset for our community. We’re excited to invest the proceeds into developing and growing our new home on Route 2.
Fundraising – Our campaign is nearly complete; with your support, we will finish strong.
To participate, please contact the Board at board@plainfieldcoop.com
Onward Together,
Your Plainfield Co-op Board
