A lot of folks know about our efforts to open a locally sourced, community-owned grocery store in Maynard. But did you know that were actually just bringing one back? Huh?
Yep. Along with 7 other community-owned businesses in Maynard, our town was home to the United Cooperative Society of Maynard for more than 70 years. Maynard residents proudly owned and benefited economically from this awesome grocery store. Almost everyone had a relative who worked there. And the grocery store proudly sourced products from local farms - produce, meat, milk and more!
Times have changed, but cooperative businesses are still the most sustainable businesses around. More than 2/3 of co-ops have been open more than 30 years. And more than 70% of startups like ours are still thriving after five years in business!
More than 1,600 local residents have already joined our Assabet Co-op Market. Become a proud Owner today and let's bring back our community-owned grocery store!
