Share the Co-op Spirit, and the Rewards!
The member sharing feature, published in our Membership section.
Membership
Everyone is welcome to shop at a Co-op location. Members own it: lifetime membership, a vote at the annual meeting, and a share of the profits.
As owners, members receive a portion of any profits earned by their local co-operative association. The amount is based on a percentage of purchases throughout the year, distributed two ways: annual cash back, or equity. Like a savings account, every member has an equity account that grows over time, and the policies on profit-sharing are made locally.
Members participate in the democratic process at the annual meeting: asking questions, proposing and voting on resolutions, becoming a board member, and electing board members. Membership also carries lifetime benefits, including high-quality products and services at competitive prices.
