Ownership

Join thousands of your friends and neighbors in owning Astoria Co+op. Although you don’t have to be an owner to shop, we think the benefits of ownership are pretty great. Help grow our co-op, keep more money in our community and invest in a business that will always be locally-owned. Join us!

Why own the co-op?
• Get $20 off when you join. Welcome aboard!
• Owners receive an extra 10% off on our already discounted Co+op Deals.
• Pre-order case quantities and get 10% off.
• Receive regular communications including email updates, and annual meeting invite. Sign up for the e-newsletter here.
• You can vote for board members to represent you or run for the board yourself.

How it works:
• Complete an application and give it to a cashier.
• Purchase one share of owner stock for $200. This is your equity in the business. Pay just once or in annual $25 installments.
• Receive a new owner packet containing your owner card and bonus coupons.
• We’ll be in touch about upcoming co-op events, elections, and other news.

Community benefits:
• Create a vibrant local economy that puts people before profits and keeps more of your dollar circulating within the community.
• Expand the marketplace for locally-grown and locally-produced products.
• Support good jobs. The co-op pays a livable wage and medical/dental benefits.
• Increase the community’s access to healthy food and good nutrition.
• A bigger co-op will create an even greater positive community impact.
