What's this about?
Brisbane Co-op is dedicated to the idea of creating a Brisbane-based community supermarket with local membership and access to higher quality and more cost effective food than the commercial duopoly Australia's supermarket industry is currently plagued with.
What we want to do:
- Bring together a dedicated group of people interested in controlling their own food choices
- Provide an alternative to the "big two" national supermarket chains
- Make a significant contribution to those less fortunate
What is a Food Cooperative?
Probably the easiest way to describe a food cooperative is that it is a supermarket created and owned by it's members (or 'investors').
If you'd like a further explanations we recommend you refer to the Wikipedia page on the topic here.
Who has done this before?
Our inspiration is drawn from the Park Slope Food Cooperative and The Peoples Supermarket.
