grocery co-op
Community food store
A grocery co-op is a food store owned collectively by its members rather than by outside investors.
Members typically pay an annual fee or buy shares, then receive benefits like discounts or dividends on purchases.
Co-ops often emphasize local products, organic foods, and community involvement: We get most of our produce from the grocery co-op downtown.
