Join Co-op shoppers, Owners, and staff as we have some fun with cheese! It’s time to fill out your bracket for CHEESE MADNESS!

Step 1

Download your bracket HERE, or pick one up in-store at Hillside or Denfeld customer service or deli departments!

Step 2

Fill out your bracket! Start with the first eight matchups and guess which cheese will be most popular among our community. Continue selecting winners for each matchup, progressing through each round until you’ve guessed the Cheese Champ.

Fill in your name and contact information, so we can contact you if you are a winner!

Step 3

Drop off your completed bracket by 9pm at our customer service counter on Sunday, March 12th!

Step 4

Each matchup day, deli departments at both stores will be sampling the two kinds of cheeses competing that day from 11am – 2pm and 4 – 6pm. Stop by to taste and/or purchase cheeses in our Cheese Madness tournament. To vote, follow WFC on Instagram or Facebook and vote in the daily polls in our Stories — a poll will be added each day of the cheese matchups! One vote per day, per person, please!
