Eröffnungsfest Carota Organic Store

Carota Opens—Let’s Celebrate Together for Three Days

After many months of brainstorming, planning, setting up, and countless hours of working together, the time has finally come: Carota Organic Store is opening its doors.

From Thursday, August 27, through Saturday, August 29, 2026, we’ll be celebrating our grand opening at Badstrasse 11. For three days, we invite you to get to know Carota, discover organic products, meet producers, enjoy the experience together, and celebrate with us.

Carota is more than just an organic supermarket. As a cooperative, Carota is supported and shaped by many people from Baden and the surrounding region. In addition to a wide range of organic products, Carota also features a bistro—a place for meeting, connecting, and enjoying time together.

It is precisely this sense of community that will define our opening celebration.

Thursday, August 27

8:00 a.m. | Let’s open Carota together

On Thursday morning, it’s official: Together with our team, our cooperative members, supporters, and everyone who wants to join us, we’ll celebrate the moment we’ve been working toward for so long. After a brief welcome, we’ll cut the CAROTA braided loaf baked especially for the opening.

8:30 a.m. | The doors open

For the first time ever, it’s time to say, “Come on in!” Explore our new organic supermarket and bistro, browse the selection, and get to know Carota.

12:00–2:00 p.m. | Gathering Around the Long Table

On Thursday, we’ll also be sharing a meal together. At Carota, we want to bring people together around a long table—in a relaxed, communal setting right in the heart of Baden.

5:30 p.m. | “Carota Up Close”

How does an idea turn into an organic supermarket? What has kept us busy, surprised us, and sometimes even challenged us along the way? In the “Carota Up Close” discussion, Esther Zeltner interviews the three founders of Carota. A personal look behind the scenes and at the story behind the new store.

Friday, August 28

On Friday, we want one thing above all else: to celebrate together and say thank you. Because without the many people who support Carota, contribute their ideas, and actively help out, this place would never have come to be.

3:00 p.m. & 4:30 p.m. | Emmanuel – Magic Show for Young and Old

A magician will create surprising and magical moments in the store for guests of all ages.

5:30 p.m. | Celebrating Together

In the late afternoon, we invite you to join us for a special moment together on Badstrasse and in front of Carota. We won’t reveal any more details here just yet—but it’s definitely worth stopping by.

5:45 p.m. | Official Address

Afterward, we’ll celebrate Carota’s opening together in front of the store. Following a brief welcome, various voices from Baden will take the floor. Representatives from the city, the cultural sector, and the community will share their personal perspectives on Carota and what a cooperative-run organic supermarket and new gathering place can mean for Baden.

Saturday, August 29

Throughout the day | Tastings & Encounters

Producers and partners will also be our guests on Saturday. Sample a variety of organic products, discover something new, and learn firsthand about production, origin, and the people behind them.

For Children | Explore & Get Involved

Our youngest visitors should also feel at home at Carota. With hands-on activities and things to discover, there’s plenty for children to experience during the opening celebration.

4:00–6:00 p.m. | DJ Laurin (Librium) spins at Carota

Late Saturday afternoon, we’ll wrap up our opening weekend with music and a relaxed atmosphere. Let’s sit together one last time, have a drink, meet people, and celebrate together that an idea has truly become a new place right in the heart of Baden.

And throughout all three days

There’s always something new to discover inside and outside the store: tastings, producers, a wheel of fortune, chance encounters, kids’ crafts, and little surprises will be part of the opening weekend.

Whether you’re already a member of the cooperative, helped set things up, live in the neighborhood, or just want to get to know Carota, come by, bring your family and friends, and celebrate with us.
