Community Rooms & Kitchens

The Merc Co+op has a Classroom & Kitchen space in both locations! These are multi-purpose spaces where our community can eat, gather and learn. We collaborate with local organizations, educators, producers and chefs to host a variety of programs and events from cooking classes to neighborhood association meetings. In addition to shopping and dining here, you can expect to find:

  • cooking classes

  • drop-in, family-friendly activities

  • active cooking demos

  • vendor samplings

  • and more!
