North Country changes with times

The world inside North Country Co-op just grew larger. At the front of the 
store, a new section of East African foods—brown bags of basami flour, 
spices and shiro—demonstrates the recent changes in the makeup of the West 
Bank neighborhood and the 33-year-old business’ clientele. Members of the 
Twin Cities’ oldest co-op hope that such changes will allow it to survive 
after several years of financial struggle.
