We are well into our second phase of development and thanks to the hard work of a handful of volunteers, much is happening to bring this Community owned grocery store to a fabulous spot nearby! Imagine! 1-stop shopping with a Durham flavor on a cooperative model -- something like a Weaver Street Market does Durham kind of thing. The board of directors held a retreat in January to solidify plans that will take the store to opening around the end of 2009 or beginning of 2010. The financial feasibility report has been completed and the market study will begin shortly. The exciting search to secure a project manager who will take us to the opening of the store has begun, new board members have been added and a location for the store has been narrowed to a short list of finalists. Whew! It was a busy year for this initiative and 2009 will be even busier!

Thanks to everyone who has helped out, thanks especially to those who have already purchased an owner share, and believe it or not there are still lots of opportunities to be involved!

Owner share sales have been our sole source of income and we've spent your money wisely! If you haven't already, don't forget to purchase your owner share plus tell your friends about us!
