MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — The hopes of the Medford Food Co-op to finally open a store five years in the making is now down to a couple of weeks.
Founders of the co-op say they need an additional $150,000 by the end of July to open their store.
The Mail Tribune of Medford says the group signed a lease in May for a building to house the co-op store, contingent on the group having the funds for the purchase by June 30. The deadline was extended by a month, but the co-op group is still short.
If all the money is obtained by July 31, the co-op says it could open by October.
