What is a co-op?

A food co-op is a cooperative grocery store owned by members of the community. Co-ops, unlike traditional chain grocers, are community-focused — putting the needs of the neighborhood before investors.

Local residents have the opportunity to buy-in or invest in a co-op (oftentimes through a "membership") to receive perks + discounts. Members are often entitled to:

Special deals on particular goods or services
Power to vote on a co-op's board of directors
Financial rewards such as member dollars + yearly dividends

Where can I shop at one?

Note: Any community member may shop at a local co-op without a membership.
