Join the Co-op by becoming a member-owner today!
There are many different kinds of co-ops, but a food co-op is a grocery store collectively owned by people like YOU, your friends, and neighbors! The Franklin Community Co-op has been community-owned for nearly 50 years and now has nearly 6,000 member-owners.
We welcome all to shop at the Co-op but if you become a member-owner, you get these benefits:
Help Your Community!
Being part of an organization dedicated to contributing to the health and self-determination of our community by purchasing locally, sponsoring events, running the Round Up program, donating locally, and more. Become a working-member-owner and get a Co-op discount while helping local groups and organizations in a way that works for you.
Discounts and Deals!
Get 10% off one shop per quarter, get monthly Local Buzz discounts on select local products, get 15% off every month on select flavors from Fogbuster Coffee & BackRoads Granola (both made locally!), and get case discounts on pre-ordered items. You can also access $5 Co-op Yoga at Community Yoga & Wellness; discounts off monthly book selections at Federal Street Books; and a 25% discount at the Better World Club, providing eco-friendly roadside assistance for cars and bicycles. Become a working-member-owner to save even more!
Have a Say!
All member-owners in good-standing get a vote when it comes time to elect new board members, and can also run for the board of directors themselves and help guide the Co-op!
Be an Owner of Two Vibrant Grocery Stores!
At the Franklin Community Co-op’s two stores, Green Fields Market & McCusker’s Market, we work hard to create the best shopping experience for all kinds of shoppers, member-owner or not. We hope you’ll come on board!
Everyone is welcome to shop at the Co-op, member-owner or not, and everyone is welcome to join. All member-owners invest $175 equity as their commitment to the Co-op. You can choose to pay in full when you join or in monthly installments of only $3. If you ever decide to leave the Co-op you can request that the equity is returned to you.
Our locally owned and operated food co-op believes we can do more in our communities. We support our local economy by putting money back into local farms and businesses, selling local products, and supporting community projects and organizations that reflect our co-op and community values.
