🚨 Urgent: We Need Your Help to Open Prairie Food Co-op!

We are so close to opening our community-owned grocery store in Lombard, but we need Owner investments or donations to cross the finish line.

Unlike traditional grocery stores backed by corporations, cooperatives are funded by their Owners—people like you who believe in independent, local businesses. This is how co-ops across the country open and thrive!

We have a fully built store, shelves ready to be stocked, and an incredible team eager to serve YOU. But without $400K in Owner investments or donations, we cannot open.

📢 Our Progress & What’s Next

✔️ Construction is complete—our store is built!
✔️ Partial funding is secured, but banks don’t finance co-ops like traditional businesses.
✔️ We are $400K away from unlocking additional funding and opening our doors.

⏳ This is our moment. If we do not raise these funds now, we risk losing everything we have built together over the last decade.

🚀 Once funding is complete, we anticipate opening in just 2-3 months!

💛 Act Now to Open Prairie Food Co-op! 💛

 

 

 

 

 

When is a grocery store more than a grocery store?

When it exists to serve you instead of make a profit for others. When it provides fresh and truly local products. When you and your neighbors own it.
