Why Should You Join the Delridge Grocery Cooperative?
Co-ops are fabulous. Cooperation is, after all, a word that implies people working together toward the same end, mutually benefitting both one another and the larger community. Economically beneficial and socially responsible, these community-minded businesses make the world a better place—and that’s a beautiful thing! In order to achieve this goal, we need you to join to get your store open!
5 great reasons to join Delridge Grocery Cooperative
1: Be an owner of a cooperatively run local business.
Every owner-member has an equal, democratic voice in the control of our stores. The purpose of the Cooperative is to serve all of our owners.
2: Access to healthy, delicious food.
Direct local and national suppliers, your food will be grown organically in both environmentally and socially responsible ways.
3: Invest in your community
The Co-op is an investment in the community. The availability of healthy food at affordable prices will make Delridge a better place to live.
4: Lower prices for all
Co-ops typically have lower prices for equal or better quality products than the prices charged in corporate chain grocery stores.
In this era of rising inflation, we’re doing our best to keep our prices in line… and we still off our Essentials produce boxes for just $20 for a store pickup order. That’s $2 a pound for a 10-pound box (average) of organic fruits and vegetables that you can use through the week
5: Discounts for owners
On the first weekend of each month (Friday through Monday), Delridge Grocery Co-op owner-member receive a 10% discount on all in-store purchases.
Payment options for owner-membership
An owner share is $100 per household, you can pay by credit card, or by check by downloading the DGC mail-in owner-membership form here.
What if I can’t afford to pay the owner share in full?
We ask new owner-members to pay the full ownership share amount when they join, if they have the resources to do so.
We want to make this cooperative grocery work for Delridge—and be inclusive and accessible to all! You can make installment payments of $10, $25 or $50 for your owner share.
