Help start a community-owned bulk & specialty food refill store in Lexington Town Center!
We need Member-Owners and Steering Committee Volunteers. Read more about our Co-op through the links above or watch the video below. When you’re ready to share your thoughts, please take our survey below!
Watch and learn more about Co-op food stores in this video by the Food Coop Initiative (fci.coop).
Initial funding comes from member-owner share purchases, not large corporations. A share is a small one-time purchase. It is not a fee and does not recur. Half shares will also be available.
Member-owners are paid dividends when the store becomes profitable.
Each member-owner gets one vote in the election of a Board of Directors and referendums (regardless of # of shares owned).
Member-ownership is optional! Anyone can shop at the store and the Co-op will buy back shares if you move or change your mind as long as the Co-op has the financial ability to do so.
Our founding and guiding principles are built on environmental, economic, social, and ethical justice principles rooted in respecting diversity in all of life.
