Co-op

Posted on October 15, 2009 by Judy Hansen

Maybe it’s time for Toledo to have a co-op!  Toledo needs competition, not tax relief or abatements! Now is the perfect time for a Co-Op in Toledo, Ohio. With the loss of the Anderson’s supermarkets, it has opened the door for this. I have in the past been a part of a Co-Op in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It only takes a $1 investment  to become a Co-op member-owner. Toledo is ripe for this kind of business.

    Toledo does have a co-op, the Phoenix Earth Food Co-op at 1447 W. Sylvania Avenue. http://www.ncga.coop/node/907

    Then there is also the Toledo Bike Co-op, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?id=1445375334 But they probably don’t do much in the way of selling food. 🙂

    We can ask that Giant Eagle open more stores in Toledo.
    In regards to Foodtown, and Churchills, neither operation with its one or two stores has the resources to expand; but, more people who live near them should patronize them. I drive many miles just to shop at Giant Eagle and Foodtown. Churchills, btw, is not the same owner as Walt Churchills.
