Check out this first of a kind video of an event that’s been 12 years in the making!

On Saturday, February 3rd, 2024 PFC had the honor of showing off the future site of our store to nearly 200 PFC Owners at our PFC What’s In Store event where we led limited size groups on personal tours of our store space led by our GM Jason and architect Megan Harte. You could feel the excitement in the air as so many of our Owners came out to see the space where their beloved Prairie Food Co-op will be. In fact it struck us how special it is that so many of our Owners had such an interest in seeing a just-gutted store space to envision what PFC will be. This kind of excitement doesn't exist in the conventional grocery store world!

And, yes, we hit another milestone. This was our FIRST ever event at OUR STORE! This is something we've dreamed about doing for literally over a decade. We admit that we got choked up a few times over the course of the event as we greeted so many of our owners and seeing the many faces of those we’ve gotten to know over the years whether they were onboard from the beginning or only recently joined the PFC family.

We all know that there are still going to be hiccups and hurdles on our way to getting our doors open, but Saturday was a very symbolic step forward. Thank you to our Owners and our community at large. We got this!

We also, again, owe much gratitude to proud PFC Owner and award winning videographer, James Kozar, of Apparatus Cinema for helping us memorialize the excitement, passion, and commitment of our Owners at our first on site event. We hope you enjoy this video as much as we do!
