Keweenaw Co-op Announces Opening Date, Job Fairs

October 16, 2024 is the official new store opening date for the Keweenaw Co+op. After years of planning, fundraising and building, Keweenaw Co+op will be opening the doors of its 4th and best location in its 51 years of serving the community.

Walking in, one will experience the abundant fresh product department complete with an assortment of floral bouquets.
