Central Co-op is owned by over 14,000 of your friends and neighbors.

Community-Owned, Open to All

Central Co-op is independent, democratic, and community-owned, and anyone can join, and over 14.000 other people in your community own these stores! Central Co-op owners get personal and collective benefits from co-owning and supporting a successful independent business that's rooted in our community. That means we're guided by the needs of the people we serve, right here in Seattle and Tacoma.

Central Co-op is a Solidarity Cooperative, where consumer and worker shares are an equity investment that helps us purchase inventory and equipment, finance operations, and minimize outside debt. Owners also support the Co-op by shopping and working here, and by participating in the Co-op's democratic processes, like voting in our Elections or serving on our Board. 

Central Co-op is open to all shoppers, regardless of whether or not they’re members (…yet).

Joining the Co-op requires a one-time equity payment of $100, which can be paid all at once or in installments, including as small as $10 a month for 10 months. As long as you’re up to date on your payments, you’re considered an active member and can utilize your benefits!

As we are changing our website over to this new and improved interface, we will add online signups for memberships back as quickly as possible! In the meantime, you can sign up for a membership in person, at the register, in both Seattle & Tacoma.
