From Your Main Street Takoma:
“On July 5th, Takoma Park institution, the TPSS Co-op grocery store, will begin a 12 week construction project. During the remodel, the TPSS Co-op will run a pop up tent operation in the parking lot (Sycamore side lot), so that customers can still conveniently purchase items. The TPSS Co-op tent operation will carry produce, groceries, wellness products, beer, pre-packed bulk items and a large selection of other customer favorites. Note from the Co-op: Don’t wait until the last minute to stock up. The store will be sold down on many products by July 1st to prepare for the transition. Stock up on your pantry items before June 30th while they are still getting regular shipments!
