A Different Kind of Business
Co-op is a different kind of business. And that difference begins with membership.
You don’t need to be a member to shop at Co-op, but you’ll be missing out on the benefits of belonging to our business.
At Co-op, membership isn’t a rewards program. It means you own part of your local co-operative association. As an owner, you have the ability to participate in the democratic decision-making process by asking questions, voting on resolutions, electing board members or even sitting on the board yourself.
Each year, local co-ops may return a part of their profits back to members based on how much you shop with them and how well the business performs. Some of this is returned as equity, which is like a savings account that grows with your support.
We’re more than just a place to shop. We’re a business built to support our community and meet the needs of our members.
Decisions and policies on membership are made locally and vary between co‑op associations.
* Only applies to equity earned with Gardenland Co‑Op Membership.
How Co-Op Equity Works
You purchase a membership for $10 and begin purchasing from the Co‑Op.
You receive an equity allocation based on your purchases.
Each year, with enough purchases, you receive some of that equity in cash.
As you continue to support the Co-op, your equity will grow over time.
You can withdraw your equity and have it paid out when you turn 70 or move out of the trading area.
