Welcome to the landing page for the Allendale Corner Store Co-op. Our Co-op vision is “strengthening community through local healthy food, local creations, and community ownership.” We are learning about and growing support for this food cooperative business to become a reality, but we need your help! Once we hit 300 members, we can complete a feasibility study. When we grow to 1,000 members we are positioned to begin operations. A cooperative store is voluntarily owned and controlled by the people who use it.

We hope to give you a neighborhood grocery store that is also a place that supports local farmers, food producers, local makers, and offers convenient shopping for people in the community.

WHAT IS A CO-OP?

A co-op or cooperative is a business voluntarily owned and controlled by the people who use it - its owners. In cooperatives, people work together for their shared economic benefit. Co-ops have become popular in the U.S. and globally because they help boost the local economy by keeping the business profits within the community.

BENEFITS OF A NEIGHBORHOOD CO-OP

Neighborhood co-ops have many benefits for the community including convenient shopping for the elderly, access to affordable healthy foods, and opportunities to support local farmers and food producers. We believe that the Allendale Corner Store Co-op will help boost the local economy and keep the profits in our growing community. But without member-owner support, we cannot make this happen.
