So You Want to Start a Food Co-op? Start with a Strong Foundation
Trainer: Stuart Reid, Food Co-op Initiative
Tuesday, June 28, 2011
2:30 - 4:00 pm Eastern Time
Right now there are enough communities that want to open new retail
food co-ops that we would double the existing number of stores if they
all succeed. And more organizing groups are asking for assistance
every day.
Stuart Reid, Executive Director of Food Co-op Initiative, has assisted
in the development of 100’s of new food cooperatives in both rural and
urban communities across the nation.He will present an overview of the
development and start-up process, from community organizing, to
business planning, site selection, capital, and opening operations,
within the context of the “4 Cornerstones in 3 Stages” development
model. Find out what can derail a promising project and how to keep
the dream alive through thousands of hours of volunteer effort. By
creating strong organizations and utilizing best practices, co-ops of
all sizes and philosophies have the best chance of succeeding.
There is no fee to attend the program
