As the MQT Food Co-Op is working to finish construction of their new store on Washington Street they are making some other changes to better their organization for everyone in MQT.

This morning representatives from the corporate office for McDonalds and MQT Food Co-Op sat down and worked out a partnership for the new store. Under the agreement McDonalds will fund the rest of the construction and renovation to the Washington Street property, as long as the Co-Op met certain golden arches standards.

“We're excited to work with another local business to help us get moved to our new location,” said co-op employee Renee Briggs. “Even if it means compromising on a couple minor items.”

Marquette Socialite Setting’s Editor Price Purge recently released a press release about the publication’s lack of involvement in the untimely death of MQT local and butthurt music writer Ekul Odnol.
“We want to reach out to the Odnol family and wish them our deepest sympathies in this rough time. However to say that we orchestrated a posse, provided weapons and insinuated a riot for and during the murder of the most hated man in Marquette’s local music scene is just untrue. If anything, we hope his loved ones find peace in the large amount of people who attended – and allegedly caused – his final breaths.”

Police arrested Mother Nature, who faces a number of charges, including fifty-two counts of determent of taco enjoyment, as well as two counts of precipitating while intoxicated, early Tuesday morning.
