New Mississippi Market to Break Ground

Mississippi Market announced that the ground breaking on their new store will take place on November 7th.  Mississippi Market is a Saint Paul-based natural and organic food cooperative that has more than 8,000 member-owners. The new store will be located at West 7th St. and Perlman St. S. in the Victoria Park neighborhood of St. Paul.

The public is invited to help celebrate this momentous event in Mississippi Market’s nearly 30-year history. The West 7th and Perlman store will replace Mississippi Market’s aging location at Fairview & Randolph in St. Paul.

Store manager Gail Graham will turn over the ceremonial first mound of soil, accompanied by co-op employees and the new store’s architectural and construction teams.  The new Mississippi Market iis scheduled for completion in Summer 2009.

Consumer owned and operated since 1979, Mississippi Market Natural Foods Co-op is St. Paul’s premier destination for natural foods and health products. It is a Certified Organic Retail Operation that strives to provide high quality, fair-priced goods and services, promote cooperative principles, and work toward a sustainable local economy and global environment. The Mississippi Market is an institution where like-minded families and individuals can come together and celebrate the joy of eating locally, healthily and responsibly, right here in our own City of Saint Paul.
