In 2024, the Board identified a lot not far from our current location, and we are currently investigating purchase options for the lot, as well as assessing the financial feasibility of constructing a new store.

For the past year, the Medford Food Co-op Board of Directors has been considering the feasibility of an expansion opportunity on site at our current location.

On March 23rd, MFC submitted preliminary plans to the City’s Planning Department to determine the possibility of expansion at our current location. The Board is still assessing feasibility and feedback from the Planning Department is essential before involving owners, employees, and the community in a wider discussion. Submitting plans to the city is a preliminary step in determining if expansion is financially feasible.

It seems like we’ve been talking about expansion for a very long time, and from a distance it may seem like not much is happening. Actually, the Board has been working diligently to move this process along.
