Just a few months from opening for business, the Wild Onion Market grocery
co-op invites the public to a Preview Party on Saturday, Feb. 24, from 10:30
a.m. to 1 p.m.
Wild Onion Market is at 7007 N. Clark, in Chicago. The locally owned
grocery will serve communities in the Rogers Park area and in Evanston.
The Preview Party is a free event open to all. Due to limited space,
however, registering ahead of time is requested.
The event will feature a presentation about the co-op, tours of the store,
and a chance to meet prospective local vendors. Refreshments will be provided.
The store is now fully equipped with all its shelving, refrigeration units
and cashier counters in place. It also features distinctive touches like a
mural from world-renowned muralist Ryan Tova Katz.
When it opens later this spring, the full-service grocery will offer a
coffee shop, bulk foods, fresh local produce, prepared foods and more.
As a cooperative grocery, Wild Onion Market is literally owned by local
people—1,838 so far—who have each invested $250 to become owners. Wild Onion
Market would like to have 2,000 or more owners onboard before the store opens.
RSVP for the Preview Party and learn how to become an owner at WildOnionMarket.com.
