Your Ownership Impact
Because it is OUR store, our collective ownership creates the Co-op. Growth in the number of owners allows development to continue:
​
600 co-owners were needed to look for a location;
750 co-owners needed to announce a potential location;
1,100 co-owners needed to launch the capital campaign;
1,500 co-owners needed to open our doors!
​
The dollars you invest as an owner build our community
and help fund the start-up process.
The more owner-based capital Wasatch Cooperative Market has, the less we’ll need to borrow and the sooner owners can receive patronage refunds.
