Citizens For A Green Bay Food Co-Op invites you to join an important community conversation about opening a Green Bay food co-op in our downtown! 🌱
Our initial interest meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 23, 2025 at 6 PM at The Tarlton Theatre (located at 405 West Walnut Street) and will include information about starting a food co-op, brief remarks of support by local officials and community leaders, and an opportunity to connect with other interested community members.

What is a food co-op? A food co-op is a local, member-owned grocery formed cooperatively by neighbors with a democratic model rather than by a private or public company. Food co-ops support affordable, fresh foods and locally grown and farmed offerings.
Green Bay's downtown on both sides of the river is a qualified food desert. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market are not coming to save us! The bright side is our downtown is home to a number of available commercial properties with an opportunity for adaptive reuse, and our community is home to hundreds of people who are committed to improving the quality of life for ourselves and our neighbors.
Opening a food co-op is an initiative and investment which spans several years. It's time we start the community conversation now.
Please submit the linked survey (https://forms.gle/u6u8hLp5b5zZm69X9) in order to participate and contribute to the vision for a Green Bay food co-op in our downtown.
