Beginning June 19, 2020, staff are required to wear masks. We continue the following practices, which we put in place in March in response to COVID-19:

  • Increased sanitizing efforts. All grocery carts, baskets, and card card pin pads are disinfected after each use and we’ve increased the frequency of sanitizing our high-touch area, such as refrigerator handles and freezer handles.
  • Bulk and kitchen pre-packed by our staff to reduce risk in these otherwise high-tough departments.
  • Distancing markers. We have designated areas at the registers for people to practice distancing while waiting to check out. We’ve closed our 2nd Street entry to minimize contact surfaces and better monitor traffic in the store.
  • All classes and events have been canceled.
  • Gloves and hand sanitizers are available to all staff and customers.
  • Plexiglass sneeze guards have been installed at each of our registers to protect cashiers and shoppers.
  • MN Department of Health educational posters regarding minimizing the spread of COVID-19 are posted throughout our store.
  • Curbside Pick Up. You can send us your grocery list and we’ll do the shopping for you – at no extra charge.  If your order is small, you can place it over the phone at 507-452-1815. If your order is large, please email us at info@bluff.coop
    • Once your order is completed, we’ll call you with any questions and/or substitutions. We’ll also get your credit card number for payment.
    • When you arrive at our parking lot, just give us a call and we’ll bring your order out to you.

This information can also be found in our summer newsletter.

Dear Bluff Country Co-op Community,

As a full-service grocery store and kitchen, we are aware that we play a vital role in providing sustenance to our community. As a community-owned business, we have a heightened commitment to ensure that our store can serve you with the safest food and service possible.

We are open. We continue to be open 8 am – 8 pm, 7 days a week. At this time we anticipate keeping those hours. We are closing our deli seating area at 5pm today,  until March 27th. If you have concerns about coming to the store to shop for yourself, please give us a call and one of our employees can assist you by taking a telephone order, arranging payment, and meeting you in the parking lot with your groceries.

We have food. We are still receiving food deliveries daily. While we may not have everything on your list, we do have most staples. Please ask an employee if you aren’t finding what you need.

We are cleaning. To minimize the risk of spreading the virus to you and our staff, we are temporarily pre-packaging our Kitchen and Bulk items. Several weeks ago we increased sanitizing efforts in public areas and the back room of the store. We are encouraging staff to stay home if they are in a higher risk category or have traveled recently. Staff absences related to COVID-19 will not affect their employment at BCC.

We are here to support our community. Thank you for your patience and grace while navigating our store during this unprecedented time. We will send more updates as things evolve.

If you have questions or would like more details on BCC’s efforts to minimize the spread of COVID-19, please email us at info@bluff.coop, call us at 507-452-1815, or send us a message on FaceBook.

Sincerely,

Dawn Schreiber, General Manager
