A word from the GOAT GM, Helen A:

Fifty plus years, but we’re still truckin’ until May 31st.

Stop by for the best bargains since 1975, with 20% off all merchandise.

We are determined to clear our shelves, and you can play a part in that.

Buy what you need, buy what you’ve never tried before, buy a souvenir, stock up for the year to come, for the years ahead,
because there will never, ever be this Bethesda Co-op again...

“We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil’s bargain
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden”
-lyrics, Joni Mitchell, “Woodstock,” 1969

20% OFF ALL ITEMS IS ON. COME & GET IT BEFORE IT’S ALL GONE!

🪴 Essentially, you can bring the Co-op scent home with you! We’re STILL OPEN (til 5/31, 8am-8pm) & STILL HAVE Essential Oils 🪔🌸

“You know that ‘Co-op’ smell? Incense, essential oils, freshly-made food? I want you to take that home with you. And when you do take these scents home, and inevitably think of the Bethesda Co-op, think back to the roaring 90s, the early 2000s. When natural foods/brands weren’t all owned by private equity and publicly-traded conglomerates. Think about those Bethesda Co-op shopping trips, where you found beautiful new products, neighbors and friends. IYKYK. These memories only die if we let them and frankly, there’s too many GREAT TIMES and even GREATER PEOPLE to look back on, to let these last few years skew perception. That’s what this old ‘Co-op kid’ thinks (knows), at least 🤷‍♂️ -Sam A

Okay, back to the ‘sales pitch’. We have essential oils left, & they’re 10% off. Get over here (6500 Seven Locks Road), buy some stuff, share your story, and feel better about it all.

🍡🥗Neighbors, friends, co-op family…We’re STAYING OPEN UNTIL MAY 31st!!! And, hey, even if we don’t have EXACTLY what you need, stop by for the music and the people. That’s us, the Bethesda Co-op, in a nutshell.

50 Years, rooted in true community. The physical will go, but the spirit, memories and PEOPLE, will remain. 8am-8pm daily until May 31st. Come see us, we’ll love and remember you for it, always ❤️💙💛
