Own The Co-op
Our member-owners are entitled to sweet perks and benefits! You may join as a member and purchase 10 shares of stock for a one-time investment of $50, or join as a subscriber and gain your shares over time. Either way, just fill out an application and return to any of our Service Desks.
Members
Co-op shares are $5 each. Membership requires 10 shares of stock. If you own 10 shares, you are a member and entitled to full list of benefits and perks below. Approved Cardholders—including your partner and immediate family members in our database—can also enjoy the perks and benefits that come with your membership.
Subscribers
Subscribers own fewer than 10 shares and gain shares over time. You can acquire more shares through patronage refund or purchase them outright. A subscriber has three years to reach 10 shares or the membership will be closed. Subscriber benefits include personal notification of product recalls and patronage refund.
