Local means the product was grown or produced in close proximity. In addition, the products are delivered directly to us in the Coloc without intermediaries. If you order online, the products will be delivered to your home directly from our shop by Swiss Post. Finally, for us, "local shopping" means supporting small businesses and thereby strengthening the local value chain 😊

Coloc supports organic farming wherever possible and recognizes the associated benefits for consumers, producers and local biodiversity. Coloc would also like to support small local businesses for which certification may not make sense or which are still in the certification process. However, this does not mean that the production is not sustainable, because these companies often adhere to stricter criteria than an organic label would prescribe.

Anders als bei anderen Ladengeschäften, besitzt der Coloc die Produkte die zu kaufen sind nicht. Er ist also kein Wiederverkäufer, der Produkte einkauft und anschliessend teurer verkauft. Stattdessen bietet er den Produzierenden eine Verkaufsplattform, wo sie ihre Produkte zu ihren Preisen verkaufen können. Der Coloc kann sich anschliessend dank einer effizienten Warenbewirtschaftung und seines Selbstbedienungs-Konzeptes durch eine kleine Marge auf dem Verkaufspreis finanzieren.

The Coloc offers a variety of payment options both in the self-service shop and in the online shop. In addition to cash, all standard credit and debit cards, mobile payment and Twint are accepted.

The Coloc store is open 24/7. The shop is open without restrictions from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and at night from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. with a digital key (for more information see question: How do I get a digital key).

It's very simple😉! You can apply for your digital key on our website at any time with just a few clicks. The key will then be activated the following day at 12:00 p.m. From then on you have unrestricted access to the Coloc via telephone from 8 p.m.
