I don't know why we decided to patronize them since the reason they closed all the NC locations was to break the employee's union and many lost their pensions that they were so close to getting. Oh, well, crazy us! The store is typical Kroger all the way. We actually came here for one of their types of toilet tissue specifically that we found at one of their knock off stores that they have in the Midwest called Ruler Foods by Kroger. They're no frills like Aldi where merchandise is just left in their shipping boxes and placed on shelves. It's stuff that either the label has been updated (as we found to be the case with the ones at this Kroger in Rocky Mount) or maybe overstock items. Anyway, we stocked up on the TP that's better than what we'd been getting at Aldi. We did get a number of other items and grumbled all the way thru the place about how the shoppers and employees in NC got cheated by the company in one way or another. Beware people of VA, you may be next on the chopping block!

She was rude and treated me like an idiot. I wasn't familiar with the store, and she couldn't walk 20 feet to show me the product I was asking for. As a first time customer I was appalled at her attitude and wondered if the store is always so unfriendly. I'm not likely to return for more poor customer service.

It's like a mini grocery store and restaurant grill combined with specialty hand made or homemade items. I ordered a hot ham and cheese sandwich. It came loaded with meat and cost $3.25!

Good thing is when something does grab your attention, it's super affordable.

The Roanoke Co+Op is a health and natural foods store in the city of Roanoke, Virginia. It was near…read moremy Airbnb and decided to look for lunch and dinner options on a brisk Thursday evening. My time here at the Roanoke Co+Op was brief, as I spent about 1/2 hour or so looking around and purchased a couple of snack items. The store is one of the largest health and natural food resources in southwest Virginia. It reminds me of my own local natural health food stores in Honolulu but not Whole Foods. It's a quintessential supermarket store that houses a lot of natural food resources that you typically won't find in your larger local grocery stores. They're typically a place where health is impactful and natural foods are the way to build your own lifestyle here in Southwest Virginia. The store itself is not that large but they have a lot of great items to choose from. During the time I was here around 3pm, it wasn't terribly crowded so it was nice to be looking around and seeing what Roanoke Co+Op has to offer. I ended up grabbing healthy snacks and paid cash for them. Healthy chips and healthy drinks other than commercial soda drinks are helpful when you want to maintain weight while maximizing your food options here and supporting local businesses. It was a cozy experience though. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable about a lot of things, specifically how to live a balanced healthy life. We all sure could be more concerned and cognizant about what we eat and how food affects our bodies. Natural foods help bridge that gap with that and the Roanoke Co+Op helps and reminds us of all the natural healthy foods we can incorporate into our diets on a daily lives. It's always nice to find good sources here or wherever your travels takes you. I'm glad my travels took me here and helped me with my snacks and dinner options on a balmy Thursday in March 2026. I enjoyed my time here at the Roanoke Co+Op and hopefully you will too on your next trip here to shop at the Roanoke Co+Op. The overall experience here at the Roanoke Co+Op natural foods store was very good and pleasant. It gave me a chance to wind down during my travels and help myself with meal planning during my stay in Roanoke, even if it's for a night. There was not much of an air conditioning system that kept me and others cool and comfortable. I enjoyed looking at all the different products on the shelves and price compared a lot of things while I was roaming through the aisles that Thursday March afternoon. The prices can be a little more than average, which is typical of natural wellness stores versus the chain supermarkets. You come here because you want to be here and are focused and laser driven on a healthy purposeful life. That is what gets me going every single day I live. The prices doesn't mean much if you don't have health. The store itself is very organized and definitely is amazing. It has everyday items for anyone and everyone who needs healthy food and snacks while having other non edible items for active lifestyles. Regardless of how your lifestyle looks like, the Roanoke Co+Op has what you are looking for. I could have purchased more stuff here but I couldn't use everything during my stay in Roanoke and had to pack it in my luggage, Which was already packed to the max. Even then, my experience here at the Co+Op was very good and happy that I was here. Recommended if you're in the Roanoke area and want to be on top of your health and lifestyle. The Roanoke Co+Op health and natural wellness store is located in Roanoke, Virginia in the Grandin neighborhood. It's physically situated at 1319 Grandin Road SW. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they have a small but limited parking spaces for yall who drive. For myself who take public transportation as much as I do, bus routes 65 and 71 passes the Grandin neighborhood and stops nearby. So you can walk from there and to the Co+Op, which isn't far from the bus stops. There's always Uber and Lyft for anyone and everyone who needs that. I ended up walking to the Grandin neighborhood from the 3rd Street Bus station exchange that afternoon because I had time to kill and tried to save a little bit of money. It was money well saved and spent it while shopping at the Co+Op instead. They have a hot bar, where you can buy your lunch and dinner by the lbs. One of these years when my travels permit me to return to Roanoke, I will be able to come back and have lunch or dinner here at the Co+Op. Recommended if you're in the area and want to eat and be healthy. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

It is quite large for a store of this sort and was a clean, nice-looking space. As is often the case with these sorts of places, the fresh vegetable selection is not that big, but is high quality. There were a lot of good options for special dietary needs in the other sections. The price is predictably higher than other places, and I haven't determined whether this place could be a major contributor to my food supply or just an occasional stop to pick up a specialty item or hunt for sales. But I'm glad it's here.
