Dolores M., Deli Cook/Baker, Denfeld
Employee since 2005
Dolores remembers working at the Co-op back when it was where Burrito Union is now. “That’s where I started training,” she said. She followed the Co-op in their move to the current Hillside store, then transferred to Denfeld when it opened because it was closer to home.
Anybody who’s tried the Deli’s beloved Grab ‘n Go items, has likely enjoyed one of Dolores’ creations. “I do a little bit of everything,” she said, which includes the salads, sandwiches, and soups. She’ll also occasionally do bakery, in addition to keeping the Deli stocked and “looking pretty” throughout the day.
Over the years, the biggest change Dolores has noticed has been the Co-op’s “tremendous” growth. “I’ve heard so many people say that it’s such an asset to the community, and it’s gone from this little thing when I first started here.”
And though we can’t prove it, we think it’s in part due to Dolores’ Fog City Pasta recipe.
