Become an Owner
Everyone is welcome and anyone can become an owner at the East Aurora Co-op!
Co-ops are owned and governed by owners. No distant shareholders pull the strings of power, and the store exists solely to meet the needs of owners and the community. At the co-op, we elect our fellow owners to steer the future of our store.
Joining the co-op means becoming an owner of the business, and you only join once. There are no annual fees or additional costs. Owners enjoy discounts, owner deals, and patronage dividends during years of sustained profitability. To top it off, co-op owners are supporting our local food community, including local farmers and small producers, right here in WNY.
