The Allendale Corner Store Co-op is a food cooperative business concept that is designed 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. 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. That means the store will directly benefit the local economy and help boost the community.

We are very excited about this concept and we hope to hit our membership goals. If you’d like to become a member and support our initiative, click below to learn more.
