Customers can take advantage of this unique and convenient offer that allows free delivery to addresses normally eligible for delivery in Lake Co-op's Thursday route.
 
“Though the cost for delivery is already extremely affordable,” said Board President Jim Leonardis of Leonardis Organics, “we wanted to give our customers the opportunity to discover the convenience of receiving their order at their business or on their front porch. Fresh organics delivered right to your door is a dream come true for a lot of folks.”
 
Shoppers who wish to receive free delivery can place their order as they normally would through the Co-op's Web site at www.lake.coop from Sunday, 12:01 a.m. through Tuesday, 12:30 p.m., and select delivery.

The $5 delivery charge will be added to the order, but will be credited back to the customer's account for use on a future purchase.

Delivery availability is determined on a per address basis by the Co-op's delivery driver prior to the Thursday delivery.

If it is determined that the delivery address is outside the normal delivery route, the customer will be contacted with options to proceed.
 
“Not only can customers receive free home or office delivery throughout the month of March just by purchasing a minimum of  $50 in products,” added Lake Co-op Operations Manager Robyn Bera, “but we still have the Refer-a-Friend and Receive a $5 Credit promotion and the new 30 Day Trial Owner membership that affords new customers the 15% owner discounts for their first month of purchasing. It really makes for an exciting and affordable time to shop with the Co-op.”
 
The trial membership option is for customers looking to experience the benefits of Lake Co-op's variety of organic food offerings before becoming a Co-op owner.

The 30-day trial owner membership will allow first time customers to receive the 15-percent owner discount for the first month of their membership, though will not allow the customers to have owner voting rights.
 
Shoppers do not have to be owners of Lake Co-op to shop from either the online ordering system or the overages that are available on Thursdays from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at 307 N. Main St. in Lakeport at the new Lake Works store next to Watershed Books, but, owners do receive a 15-percent discount from nonowner pricing and are eligible to become owner-workers which receive an additional 10-percent discount.
