Oryana West is turning a Wednesday shopping visit into a seasonal tasting outing. Trick or Treat Yo’ Self is scheduled for October 28, 2026, from 3 to 6 p.m., with a scavenger-style map guiding visitors to treats around the store.
The co-op advertises samples including chocolate brownies, pumpkin focaccia, crisps and cheese pairings. It also lists in-store deals, a gift-basket entry opportunity and gift bags for the first 50 shoppers to reach Wellness. The event takes place at 3587 Marketplace Circle in Traverse City.
Follow the tasting map
The published format is a store-based trail of treats, rather than a sit-down dinner or a neighborhood candy walk. Look for the organizer’s map when you arrive and follow staff guidance about how the stops work.
That format can suit a short seasonal visit fitted around errands. If you intend to shop as well, set aside enough time for both activities instead of assuming every sample stop will line up with your normal grocery route.
The event page categorizes the gathering under free samples. That supports describing the advertised tasting portions as samples; it does not make the entire store’s food or shopping complimentary. Keep any groceries or other purchases in your own budget.
The listed foods are the organizer’s advertised selection, not a guarantee of an unlimited quantity for every visitor. Check with staff about what is being served when you arrive, particularly if one item is the main reason for your visit. |

Know how the limited extras are described
The gift-bag condition is specific: the first 50 shoppers to reach the Wellness area. A visit during the event window alone does not guarantee receiving a bag. Plan around the tasting outing itself rather than treating the gift bag as assured.
Oryana also advertises entry for a gift basket featuring samples, selected offers and merchandise. The event description does not supply complete drawing rules or odds. Ask staff for the actual entry instructions if you want to take part.
Likewise, the mention of in-store deals does not establish a particular discount on every product. Read the posted offer terms and check the item, quantity and dates that apply before making a purchase decision.
Make the visit work for your group
Anyone with a food allergy or dietary restriction should ask staff about ingredients and handling before sampling. A product name or a Halloween label is not enough information to decide whether a food meets an individual requirement.
If you are attending with children, decide together which stops to try and keep the group with you as you move through the store. The published event is a community shopping-and-sampling gathering, rather than a separately described supervised children’s activity.
Oryana West lists 231-486-2491 as its contact number. Check the store’s visitor information for the location and use the event page for the October 28 program. The Tenth Street store is a different address, so name West when coordinating a meeting.
The three-hour event window is enough information to choose an arrival time, but it does not predict crowd levels or remaining samples. Leave your schedule flexible if you want to browse, and check for organizer updates close to the day.
With the location, hours and limited extras understood, the outing offers a simple seasonal change of pace: use the map, try the available samples and decide for yourself whether to add any shopping.

first 50 at Wellness? Good luck to me
Good luck! The co-op says gift bags are for the first 50 shoppers to reach Wellness.
Dave ThompsonAt 3 on a Wednesday, you might have a shot!
pumpkin focaccia sounds good
Maya R.Same here. I hope they have some left when I get there after work.
It does sound like a fun fall bite! Pumpkin focaccia is among the samples the co-op is advertising.
