COLD THINGS ARE BACK!
Dear Chimacum Corner Community!
We’re thrilled to announce that our refrigeration issues have been resolved and we’re back to having all the cold things! Snacks, drinks, treats, salads, sauces, cheese, chocolate milk, and more! Today our fantastic Corner Crew worked together to reload the deli, beverage, and dairy coolers after a multi-day stint without refrigeration inside the store. It all started Friday evening with coolers beginning to temp high. We got them emptied and the problem diagnosed, but it wasn’t possible to access the needed parts over the weekend. First thing Monday morning, techs were on site to replace the faulty compressor (for which the warranty had just expired in November of 2024!). The work took most of the day, and we needed to let the system run a minimum of 12 hours (overnight) before we felt comfortable deeming the coolers safe and stable enough to reload with goods. Thank goodness the repairs were successful and we had folks on hand to restock. So, a big ol’ HURRAH to that! What an endeavor it was to schlep all that food.
As you can imagine, it’s a big deal for this little store on the Corner to experience the loss of sales and the expense of repairs all in the midst of our slowest season. In an effort to rebound from this unfortunate turn of events we’re turning to you, Dear Community, to see if you can show up for us this January? If you can swing it, please make plans to come in and stock up! Cases of apples are still available from Tonnemaker’s, there are DEALS on goods that could be stored in the pantry or freezer, and it’s still a great time to snag a special gift or new calendar for 2025! Every little bit of extra investment this month would go a long way in supporting our recovery from FRIGEMAGEDDON! Our very straight forward plea? Shop a little extra, when and how you can this month.
A BIG THANKS TO ALL THE FRIDGE FIXING AND FILLING HEROS OUT THERE!
