Wheatsville Co-op

(Community Matters) Wheatsville Co-op has become an important part of our community. Steven joined its board of directors this year, we shop there as much as we can (which is most), our property backs up to the store, we’re invested in the community of Wheatsville in many ways. Exciting that phase I of their expansion opened Saturday. Store nearly doubling in size. They opened the new space and will be reconfiguring the store as they commence renovation on existing structure. Expanded deli, fresh bread, fresh seafood & meat section now. In a couple of months, they’ll have a salad and hot food bar. Really yummy prepared foods everyday – and the best smoothies in Austin. Ever wonder where the cool, funky, young & really smart kids went to work after Whole Foods matured? Wheatsville

We have a bit of a shortcut to the store. Steven walking behind it

An early part of the project was reconstructing the huge retaining wall between our properties – there’s a 4″ to 6″ drop in elevations. We still haven’t completed the gate as we’re rebuilding part of a stone wall between ourselves and a neighbor while trying to build a well to preserve an old pecan tree.

Despite the economy and construction, Wheatsville continues to thrive and its business continues to grow substantially.
