Description

Who are we?

Today, we are finding it increasingly difficult to source food that is:

healthy and flavorful
whose origin we know
that has the least harmful impact on our environment
that allows producers and farmers to sell at a fair price
that is affordable for everyone

We have created a supermarket where you can do all your shopping, with high-quality products that are accessible to everyone.

The social and human dimension is at the heart of the project, because the goal is to provide access to high-quality, ethical products at affordable prices for everyone!

How it works:

To shop here, you simply need to be a member—that is, purchase shares in the store and help run it for 3 hours a month.

All profits are reinvested in the supermarket’s operations or equipment. Members handle 80% of the store’s tasks: cashiering, stocking shelves, cleaning, handling goods, etc.

This operating system allows us to keep prices very low while paying producers a fair price.

Unlike traditional big-box stores, cooperative supermarkets use their economic power to support local agriculture and foster a dynamic culture of knowledge-sharing within their network.

Our cooperative and participatory supermarket opened its doors on December 17, 2020. Come discover this supermarket unlike any other:
