The Purple Carrot Market

BECOME AN OWNER
Community Investment Campaign!

A startup food co-op in Little Falls, MN

Rooted in Community with 824 Owners!

The Purple Carrot Market has grown to 824 owners!
We are a start-up food co-op working towards opening our grocery store in historic downtown Little Falls. Growing our ownership is the key to opening our grocery store. Lenders want to know that we have our community's support and strong ownership numbers demonstrate that. To be successful, any grocery store needs shoppers and owners tend to be loyal shoppers at their cooperative. Join us today!

Our vision:  a vibrant, welcoming full-service grocery store, providing convenient, exceptional downtown shopping and fresh, local food to all community members.

Our Campaign Goal:
We must raise approximately 50% of the funds, $800,000, needed to open our store through our strongest supporters, YOU, co-op owners, through the purchase of preferred shares or donations. The effort to raise these funds begins on March 17 and runs through May 23, 3025. When we hit our goal by May 23, we remain on track to initiate preconstruction work this summer and start construction this fall, which means we could open in early 2026. Your investment will fund construction, hire staff, purchase equipment, and stock the shelves.

Grow > Fund > Build

​​Did you know that 70% of food co-ops are still thriving after 5 years in business?  Just 1 in 3 small businesses can say the same.  So what's the co-op secret?  
​  
​GROW, FUND, BUILD
​.
​We GROW our Ownership base –  over 800 eager, invested Owner shoppers – before we ever open our doors. We FUND with a capital campaign that supplements bank funds and ensures that we thrive on Day 1 and Day 1,000. And we BUILD a store located and sized to give us the best chance of success.
