Wild Oats Market Celebrating 25 Years in Business
WILLIAMSTOWN - Wild Oats Market will mark its 25 years as a community market with daylong celebration on Jan. 19.The market's mission is to provision, serve and connect people through its cooperative business. The community celebration at the store's 320 Main St. will include free samples, food demos, raffle prizes and more.
"To have reached this milestone is a huge accomplishment, and a result of the hard work and dedication of everyone who has been a part of Wild Oats Market over the past two and a half decades,” said General Manager Michael Faber. “We want to celebrate this landmark occasion by doing something special for everyone who is a part of the Wild Oats Community, past and present."
The first 25 people who go through the register on Saturday morning will receive a free gift. Faber will be serving slices of birthday cake at 2 p.m. and festivities will be taking place throughout the day.
"We're proud of this milestone and our contributions to the community over the years," said Faber. "The anniversary celebration is a great opportunity for us to share our enthusiasm for Wild Oats and co-op values with the public. We’re looking forward to a fun day and a strong turnout for this event.”
The member-owned, cooperative-based whole foods market buys extensively from local and regional natural and organic food producers. The market is open to all, although membership offers several benefits. It carries a wide selection of organic and naturally made products, including meats, eggs, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, breads, pastas, oils, cereals, juices and chocolate.
In addition, the store offers a fresh grab-and-go deli and freshly baked breads, rolls and pastries on-site. Wild Oats Market also carries healthful supplements and body care products, as well as environmentally-friendly household supplies.
