| We're doing this
because in less than two years we are moving to a new store. We have
great dreams for this future store--LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) certification, larger and better community
spaces, a teaching kitchen, wider aisles for a more comfortable
shopping experience, a full-service deli, and much more. In order for
us to do this, we need the support of Honest Weight's entire community,
members and non-members alike. Currently, less than half of our
shoppers are co-op shareholders. We'd like to convert some of these
non-member shoppers into member owners. Unlike the big chains that can
rely on money coming in from the corporate office in Austin, Texas or
Brussels, Belgium, or some other far-off place, we need to do this
ourselves, and for that to happen, we need as many people from our
community involved as possible.
And If you join the co-op, you aren't
just supporting the co-op, you're supporting every local farmer, baker,
cheesemaker, and coffee roaster that sells products to the co-op. And
we guarantee that the percentage of our sales that goes to local
producers is far greater than what you'll find at the big stores.
So whether joining the co-op is
something you've thought about doing for years, or if it's something
that's you're just considering now for the first time, it's really the
perfect time to join. It's an exciting time to be part of the co-op!
