Dill Pickle Co-op opening in Chicago! (Right by my house)
October 27th, 2009
I remember a fairly recent trip to visit a friend in Madison where I was very jealous to see her show off the co-op (just blocks!) from her house.
But now, I can proudly say that soon there will be a co-op just down the street from me and I can barely contain my excitement! With a planned open date of mid-November I am sure I’m not the only one who is getting excited to have such a fantastic resource in the neighborhood.
I can only hope that it is a fantastic success and that other neighborhoods are inspired. And that the idea of locally owned and sourced grocery stores continues to gain traction throughout the entire country

Also, I will admit that I haven’t signed up a member yet, but I fully plan to and encourage you to sign up as well
I’m so happy for you and extremely jealous of you. I live in a very small rural town and the prospects of a co-op here in the near future are slim. The only grocery store we have is inside the local shell station. The closest co-op to me is a 1/2 hours drive. It can be harder being green in an area that thinks green is just a color in the crayon box.
