Company Shops Market is a grocery store that opened in
downtown Burlington two years ago.
Even though it has been in Burlington for awhile, I had never been until this year. The Co-op is a healthy grocery store that supports local farms and communities. Almost all of their produce is from local farms and their meat and eggs come from the farms as well. In this way, consumers know exactly where the food they are consuming comes from. The store is quite small. It consists of a couple aisles of food, a produce section, a hot lunch bar, bakery, and both indoor and outdoor seating. Even though it is small, however, the Co-op has a lot to offer their customers.

One of my favorite things about the Co-op is their peanut
butter. I am a huge fan of peanut butter
and eat it too often. At the Co- op they
have freshly ground peanut butter where you can push a button on a machine and
choose how much peanut butter you want.
The peanut butter does not have all the chemicals and oils of the peanut
butters available in the grocery store, which makes it perfect and
delicious. My other favorite part of the
Co-op are their almond croissants. They
have a small bakery located within the store that sells baked goods and fresh
bread and everything is amazing. Every
time I go I always get an almond croissant and devour it within minutes.
The Co-op also offers many opportunities for
socializing. I went to a beer and wine
tasting there at the beginning of the semester with a couple of friends. They had local brewers come in and anyone
over the age of 21 was able to sample the different types of beer. I really enjoyed this experience because I
have never sampled beer in a grocery store.
The Co-op is full of surprising and interesting experiences for all.
