  • Did you know there used to be many food co-ops in Pittsburgh? Semple Street Food Co-op in Oakland was a sister co-op of EEFC and when it closed its doors in the 1980s, many of their members joined EEFC. Long-time co-op member Lee shares this memory of Semple Street. The Semple Street Co-op was set up so that the members were scheduled to go to the Strip to get the produce needed. On our scheduled day we got there around 5 a.m. and went to several wholesalers to fill the shopping list. The entire Strip District closed at noon, except two restaurants that had opened at 4 or 5 and closed around 1, and Wholey's, and Schorin's, the paper goods store. Whew! I am older than I thought... - Lee, EEFC Member since 1989 and former Semple Street Co-op member --- Thanks for the memory Lee! If you'd like to share your Co-op story, email us at info(at)eastendfood(dot)coop. We'll enter you in a drawing to win a Co-op gift card and send you some Co-op swag!

  • This may sound extreme, but the East End Food Co-op is one of, if not the biggest catalyst for the reason that we (myself, my wife, and now our infant son) have the life that we have today. We made a conscious effort to adopt a healthier lifestyle while we were still living in Fayette County, back in 2015. So we joined the coop, and started to make the hour drive down as often as possible to shop. Then we decided that we actually wanted to be physically closer to that type of lifestyle; so we started to look at real estate nearby. We ended up buying a home on East End Ave, three or four blocks away from the coop! Now we can walk there! This move was a tremendously positive one for us, and has shaped the life we currently live today. Thank you EEFC! - Kenny --- Thank YOU Kenny for sharing your co-op story! If you'd like to share what the co-op means to you, email us at info (at) eastendfood (dot) coop. You'll be entered to win a $40 EEFC gift card and you'll get some cool co-op swag!

Exemptions are made for children under age 2 and those with medical conditions that prevent them from wearing a mask. Need a mask? We can provide one! -Reusable containers of any kind for bulk, produce, or cafe purchases are still prohibited. -Our Cafe will continue to serve in a grab-and-go capacity. Cafe seating is not available. Some frequently asked questions: -Can I use my reusable shopping bags? YES - we still ask that you bag your own groceries and refrain from shopping into your bags . Are you accepting bottle returns (Brutton's Milk and Tyler Jugs)? YES. Please place milk bottles in the crate at Customer Service and return your 5 gallon water jugs to the shelf in the store. We cannot thank you enough for your continued patience, your willingness to stand in line to shop at your co-op, and for adapting with us through many changes over the past three months. Your commitment has helped ensure we can provide an outlet for many local farmers and vendors during a very difficult time and pay our staff much deserved appreciation pay throughout the pandemic.

  • East End Food Co-op stands in solidarity with our Black community members and allies who are speaking out against police violence in our hometown of Pittsburgh and across the country.
