Over the last several decades, Alpena has lost nearly all of our locally-owned grocery stores. In the city limits, there is only one grocery store.
It’s time we change that.
-
Creating a space that Alpena is proud of/ a destination for Northeast Michigan
-
Supporting local growers and producers first, whenever possible
-
Building connections between growers, producers, and eaters
-
Providing daily access to [nutritious/ quality/ clean] food in every season
The co-op will be committed to:
Our goal is to create a quality grocery store in Downtown Alpena that is owned by and operated for the community.
Your Neighborhood Grocery Store
Imagine a vibrant, community-owned grocery store in Downtown Alpena—a place that provides daily access to nutritious, high-quality food year-round, where you can also buy your standard grocery, pantry, and bulk food staples. By prioritizing locally grown and produced foods whenever possible, a food co-op can strengthen connections between local growers, producers, and eaters, while creating a welcoming destination that Northeast Michigan is proud of.
