Revolutionizing the way you shop for groceries. Become an Owner at www.chicagomarket.coop/join
What is Chicago Market? Chicago Market will be a big, bright, beautiful community-owned grocery store featuring local, sustainably farmed, organic produce, meat and dairy products, as well as all of the other staples you'd expect from your market -- dry goods, bulk foods, frozen foods, wine, beer and li
quor. We'll have delicious prepared foods and fresh-baked goods. Chicago Market exists to rebuild the connection between food producers and consumers. Because cooperative structure encourages serving owners first, not shareholders, our decisions are your decisions; our goals are your goals; our bottom line is your bottom line. Where will Chicago Market be? In the former Wilson 'L' station at the corner of Wilson and Broadway in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. Why should you become an Owner? As an Owner, you will have the chance to create your dream grocery store while engaging with your local food community. Owners have a voice in store leadership, receive patronage refunds, and are eligible for special discounts and promotions. You will know that you are making a difference in the lives of shoppers, farmers, food producers and store employees. In addition to these tangible benefits, becoming an Owner gives even more back to your community:
You give a local farmer the chance to sell all of his produce to a single place so he can expend less fuel and spend less time delivering and more time farming. You give the planet a chance to heal from unsustainable practices that growers of single-crop farming are using. You give members of your community a place to meet, chat, take classes and garden. You give members of your community a great-paying job with benefits—all focused on delicious, healthy food. A one-time investment of $250 provides you and your household Ownership equity in Chicago Market. Join us at ChicagoMarket.coop to purchase your share.
