Become an Owner

Everyone is welcome, anyone can join, and membership is not required to shop.

Own your grocery store! You can become a member-owner during your next visit to the co-op – it only takes a moment. Owner benefits begin immediately and just $20 will get you started on your investment towards a stronger and healthier Nevada-grown economy.

A fully vested share is $400. However, most of our owners choose to pay it in 20 annual installments of $20.
