It closed in the 1980s: "...the co-op also began to struggle financially. From its outset, members wanted the co-op to be “saving people money across the board,” Coffin said. But it was a small operation, and that meant that the operation’s buyers (including him) struggled to buy fresh and canned foods at prices that were as low as those of some of their competitors. In New Haven and across the country, small, locally-owned grocery stores were being put out of business by new conglomerates and regional chains. Coffin recalled looking at certain foods — canned tomatoes, whole gallons of milk, wheels of morbier cheese — and knowing that he wouldn’t be able to buy at a low price even if he haggled with vendors."
