A Co-op for the city of Grand Rapids. 

We're envisioning a grocery store for Grand Rapids that puts community before profits and where the owners are your neighbors! When it comes to spending your hard-earned grocery dollars, it helps to know you're doing good things for the people within your community. Together we are working to bring an amazing grocery store to life whose products and practices reflect our owners' priorities!

A community owned grocer where you can...

+ Shop your values
+ ​Support local food production and jobs
+ Improve food access within the community
+ Practice democratic capitalism
+ Decide the products and services offered
+ Keep your grocery dollars in the community!

Together, we can make it a reality!

Now is the time to join this dynamic group of visionaries and become a founding owner of the Grand Rapids Food Co-op Initiative. To build a 10,000 square foot store we must have at least 1,000 owners join the co-op. Your involvement will help make the co-op a reality!

Your share matters!

​A one-time equity share is $250 per household.  Invest in the co-op by paying your equity share all at once, or pay over 10 months by sending $25 each month (plus a $1-per-month transaction fee). We also offer a Food For All share amount of $25 to enable any household to become an owner. Additionally, we offer scholarships to those who need the financial support to become an owner. ​
