New Linden Hills Co-op

In a Word: 'More'

Want a one word summary for the new Linden Hills Co-op that just opened near 44th and France, about six blocks west of the old location?

"More."

As in, more floor space (I'd guess at least double); more parking; more deli space and prepared foods; more eat-in dining tables for enjoying all those prepared foods, etc.

Twin Cities' Most Expensive Salad Bar?

And, at least for some items, more money: at $8.99 per pound, the Co-op's salad bar out-does even Whole Foods.

Tempering the sticker shock somewhat: great specials on selected items like Muir Glen Pasta Sauce ($2.50, vs. $4-plus regularly), as well as $5 coupons every two months for members.

Given the high quality (if expensive) food and produce, and the new, more accessible location, the Co-op can expect lots more members.
