Prairie Food Co-op will be a full-service grocery store in Lombard focusing on local, sustainable, and organic food and products.
Prairie Food Co-op will revolutionize the way you shop for groceries.
What is Prairie Food Co-op?
Prairie Food Co-op will be a 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 a grocery store -- dry goods, bulk foods, and frozen foods. Prairie Food Co-op will be a community hub where shoppers can enjoy a coffee while attending workshops, classes, and meetings.
Why a Co-Op?
Co-ops exist primarily to serve their community – putting owners, not shareholders, first. As a cooperative, Prairie Food Co-op’s priority will be providing exceptional products and customer service to shoppers and Owners. Our decisions are your decisions; our bottom line is your bottom line.
Where will Prairie Food Co-op be located?
Prairie Food Co-op will be located in Lombard, Illinois, although a specific location has not been chosen. Once we have significant community investment – in the form of 250 Owners – we will hire professional consultants to conduct a market analysis to determine the best location for the future store.
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 credits, 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 support local farmers and food producers by giving them the opportunity to sell their products in a single place on year-round basis
• You support a business committed to encouraging sustainable, organic food production
• You provide a great place to work with excellent benefits to members of your community
• You create a community gathering place for your friends and neighbors
