Rooted in Community with 782 Owners!
|
The Purple Carrot Market has grown to 782 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.

During November and December 2024, we are running a donation-only campaign to raise funds in support of pre-opening activities (including the hiring of a grocery store general manager, a construction manager, and final architectural drawings).
We ask that owners use this time to take advantage of whatever tax deductible opportunity works for them to reach our goal of $100,000 by December 31. Demonstrate your co-op support during the Season of Giving Campaign by making a donation today! |

Grow > Fund > BuildDid 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 780 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. |
