Where can you buy Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut in the Marysville? Stanwood area ? I’ve checked several stores without success.

Hi Mike, They have it at QFC in Stanwood in the “mixer aisle” near beer and wine. I know Walmart in Marysville carries it too! It’s used in Pina Coladas, so that’s why they stock it there. I wish they’d put it in the baking aisle as well. Hope this helps? ~ Dusty
