What is a community-owned grocery store? And what difference will it make in the Electric City?

Community-owned grocery stores (like the Electric City Food Cooperative) are jointly owned and democratically governed by their member-owners – by the people, for the people.

Although all people are welcome to shop at food cooperatives, Member-Owners have special ownership and governance rights. When a food cooperative thrives economically, its democratically elected Board of Directors reinvests profits to advance the mission of the co-op (which often includes distributing surplus profits among its Member-Owners through patronage refunds).

All in all, this model of community ownership results in a more responsive and accountable food system that prioritizes the “3-Ps” of a “triple bottom line” - where Profit serves People and Planet, rather than the other way around.
