Why should i become a co-op owner?
YOU HAVE A VOICE
When you become an owner of SunCoast you get a vote in important co-op matters. A co-op isn’t owned by a big corporation or outside shareholders. It’s owned by community members who purchase owner shares. SunCoast will serve the needs of the owners & the community.
It’s a store that’s “by the people, for the people.”
QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST
SunCoast will be the place to buy local, organic, and sustainable products that the community wants. These values will drive what’s on the store shelves. Because the people own the store, prices tend to be lower and products fresher than comparable products found in large, chain supermarkets.
You get more of what you want.
GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY
Are you tired of your hard-earned dollars going to another city? When you shop at SunCoast your food dollars will stay local and create good paying jobs for the community. Do you want a place to sell your products? Co-ops are known for supporting local farmers and entrepreneurs, further supporting the local economy.
Our community benefits from a co-op.
