Coop opens vegetarian store

The new Karma store from Coop.Everyone who likes to eat vegetarian or vegan, describes themselves as a flexitarian or is interested in food trends and healthy, sustainable nutrition can rejoice. Coop has opened its first "Karma" store. Coop is thus launching a store concept that has not previously existed in Switzerland. As a full-range grocer, "Karma" offers everything that vegetarians and vegans need on a daily basis and is clearly different from the familiar Coop to go, Zopf&Zöpfli or Marché Express formats.New assortmentMany new products as well as trendy brands can be found in the assortment of the "Karma" store. For example, there is a greatly expanded selection of homemade items from the popular own-brand Karma. But vegetarian and vegan foods from Naturaplan and Délicorn can also be found on the shelves. In addition, the store offers a wide range of trendy brands for vegetarians and vegans, such as an exclusive selection of products from the Veganz brand. Around a third of the food is organic or Max Havelaar-certified. Cooking inspiration is provided by Fooby. Every week there is a new recipe to discover in the store - the products to go with it can be found conveniently in the recipe cards. The store also offers non-food products, such as stationery and cards or a selection of vegan cosmetics.More than just a storeKarma is more than just a store and thus meets the needs of young and modern customers. The assortment, which has been newly adapted to the store concept, is complemented by a coffee and tea bar with a seating area, as well as around 40 self-service foods such as quinoa, muesli, and nuts - everyone can individually fill the right amount for themselves. Every day, the Karma team prepares exciting, varied breakfast bowls, sandwiches and smoothies. At lunchtime and in the evening, the offer is supplemented by salad bowls and a vegan hot dog - everything is also convenient to take away and enjoy outside.
