In our Magazine I have started articles each edition, focusing on one or two local businesses. This is so our readers can know more about them. They will be Spanish & Non Spanish. In the latest magazine, Coviran is featured.
I have been asked by a number of people if I would post the article on here. It is written by Lola from the Store.
Coviran is a small business cooperative from all over Spain. Coviran Arboleas is a small company that belongs to three partners, their names are: LOLA, MANOLO AND PACO. We have 8 workers, their names are: Cati, Maria Jesus, Ioana, Laura, Eliana, Maria Jesus Junior, Ana Mari and Antonio.
The establishment receives produce every day. Monday, Wednesday and Friday we receives products from the Coviran headquarters, although in situations like the ones we are currently experiencing, it also delivers on other days. Fresh milk is received on Friday mornings, although sometimes it is also received on Tuesdays if the stock is required.. Yogurt is received on Friday morning, although it can also be received on Tuesday. International providers deliver every 15 days and I have several that they bring items from different countries (Germany, England, Holland, Italy, France and Norway)
Meat deliveries are every day.
The fruit is bought in stores in Cuevas del Almanzora and almost all of it is national. We rely on fruit that is grown in Spain, we do not sell fruit from other countries like some competition does and that is why the prices they have are sometimes low. We also do not sell fruit that has had wax applied to the skin to make it look more beautiful. The fruit usually arrives to us on Monday and Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. In the exceptional situation that we currently find ourselves, it comes to us every day. We have no problem changing any fruit if customers have taken it and it turned out badly, (instead of criticizing on social networks, which is very easy, they could come and tell is and we will replace.).
We are human and we can make mistakes, but if someone comes with a mistake that we have made, we always try to solve it. We always try to get the products that our customers demand and we always try to help them.
Prices can sometimes be higher than the competition because we are not a multinational or a large company and the purchase volume is not as large as the previous ones. But the previous ones do not have the assortment of products that we are trying to have to offer to our clients.
We like to get involved in local charities and always give our full support to requests for help and assistance.
Thank you on behalf of all our staff for you support and courtesy during these difficult times.
