Greentree Co-op Market has officially opened at its new location on Broadway Street.

The market is a cooperativ­ely owned grocery store in Mt. Pleasant that provides organic and natural food, body products, supplement­s, cleaners, and household products. Greentree also has a Grab-n-go Deli, which provides quick meal options, and a cafe area where customers can sit and enjoy their food and drinks.

Greentree Co-op Market has been serving the Mt. Pleasant area since the 1970s and previously had a location on Franklin Street before they moved to their new location at 410 W. Broadway Street.

“It’s been a decade in the making bringing the

store here,” Greentree general manager Sarah Christense­n said. “It’s been an exciting rollercoas­ter. There’s been some obstacles with the pandemic but it’s been worth it.”

The building, which is shared with Broadway Lofts, has been under constructi­on since 2020. The building still has some final finishes but both businesses are ready fully operationa­l.

The market celebrated their official grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, Dec. 8 from noon to 2 p.m. A large turnout of community members came to shop and support the grand opening.

“We love the turn out. It’s a beautiful sight,” Christense­n said.

The business is open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., 7 days a week.
