The Wild Onion Market—a new full-service grocery co-op, open to the general public, featuring affordable organic staples, grab-and-go items and more—will open for business on June 12 at 7007 N. Clark Street, in Rogers Park, in Chicago. Opening day will include a brief afternoon ribbon-cutting ceremony with remarks by several local officials and business leaders. Store hours will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.
Shoppers can expect to find “all the best local offerings, affordable organic staples and fresh produce, with great selections throughout the store—from gourmet cheese to bulk grocery on regular, rotating sales,” says Teresa Meza, general manager.
Wild Onion Market’s mission is to keep money in the neighborhood, rather than fill corporate grocery store coffers; contribute to creating a food supply chain that is transparent, just and accessible to Midwest farmers and producers; and provide fair-paying job opportunities in their neighborhood.
The new grocery store has been 10 years in the making. Since 2014, it has built up a base of co-op owner/investors that now totals 2,150. New owners are always welcome.
