Membership

Own Your Grocery Store.
Shape Your Community.

You don’t need to be a member to shop here, but there are lots of great reasons to become one.

When you join 14,000+ of your neighbors who already own a piece of this community grocery store, you’re not just signing up for some rewards program — you’re taking part in a democratic, values-driven business that’s been strengthening Whatcom County and our surrounding region since 1970. 

Why Ownership Matters

How Membership Works

Membership requires a one-time $90 equity investment — think of it as buying your share of the business. This investment is fully refundable if you ever leave the Co-op. Plus, there’s a $5 annual fee that covers membership administration. 

Monthly Payment 

Pay as little as $3 per month. Your cashier will notify you when a payment is due.
