Meet Jolene Labonte
It’s not easy keeping the big and busy Co-op Merchandising area organized. In fact, it was so difficult that not long ago we realized someone special needed to help us with it. Fortunately, Jolene agreed to take on the job, and we’re lucky that she did. Jolene has been at the Co-op for a long time. She’s smart, friendly, and super organized. She spent years helping customers at our Service Desk, and was so good at what she did she was given more responsibility. Now she assists our Merchandising Director and Assistant Director, and with her help all of our merchandisers can more easily do what they do so well.
Check out the Co-op Cafe Gallery This Summer
The Co-op Café Gallery came into being in 2002 with a whisper rather than a roar. The Co-op’s Lebanon Food Store had just expanded, using a pleasant open area in a retail footprint previously occupied by another business. From the beginning, the new space seemed perfect—except for its empty walls. So to fill those walls, old Co-op banners, posters, and other promotional materials from days gone by were dug out and put up as a temporary solution. The bright light of the space meshed well with the vibrant colors of the graphic design, and the idea of an art gallery was born.
