Public and Private Events Welcome
The Community Room at Basics can accommodate up to 75 guests and is equipped with a large dry-erase board, a podium, tables, and chairs.
Room rental is only $20 for Co-op Owners or $40 for the general public, for up to 4 hours!
Please note: No outside food is permitted, except for cakes/cupcakes. No alcohol is permitted.
Our in-store Co-op Cafe caters for all events. Basics is a full-service natural foods store. Even if you do not purchase catering for your event, many items are available for purchase from the store such as drinks, snacks, chips and dips, desserts, and more! We highly recommend Pastries By Chad, LLC for custom cakes (delivery on Thursdays).
Stop at the service desk, call (608) 754-3925 or email basicscommunityroom@gmail.com for room availability and additional rental details.
Use of The Community Room at Basics does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by Basics, its Owners, or the Board of Directors. All promotions for public events in the room must explicitly state: "Independent event not affiliated with Basics." This includes tagging Basics Co-op on social media. Thank you for supporting your community-owned co-op, which represents more than 7,000 local owner households!
A special feature in our Community Room is the 1,500 square-foot mural painted by local artist and former co-op staffer Allegrea S.B. Rosenberg. The mural spans all 4 walls and depicts a “farm to table” theme encompassing all 4 seasons and landcapes from all over the globe. It is available for public viewing in between booked events (or any time the door is open). The one-of-a-kind mural is also a perfect backdrop for birthday parties and celebrations!
