What Are Co-ops?

 

Co-op Principles

 

Cook County Whole Foods Co-op

 

Become a Member/Owner. It's Easy!

1) Fill out an Owner Application Form with a cashier. They will set up your account at the register.

2) Make an equity payment.
A full equity share investment is $120.
You may pay the full amount or $12/year until the full amount has been paid.

3) You will receive an owner packet with coupons and a card with your owner number. We will ask for that number when you shop to track your discounts and purchases.

4) Keep in touch!
• We need a current address to send equity notices and rebate checks.
• Our staff is more than willing to help if you have any questions, need help with something or have product suggestions.
• Read the Co-op newsletter, attend annual meetings and vote. You are welcome to attend board meetings or contact board members with suggestions.
