Danielle Swain's Company Details
Weavers Way Co-op is a member owned community food market open to everyone. We have two food markets, two wellness and pet stores, two urban farms and our own non-profit. We do a lot! Weavers Way Mt. Airy and Weavers Way Across the Way are open 8 to 8 every day. Weavers Way Chestnut Hill and Weavers Way Next Door are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. What's a co-op anyway? In private or stockholder-owned businesses, individuals invest to earn a financial return. In a co-op, individuals are motivated by a shared need for certain products or services. By joining together, members gain access to products, services or markets not otherwise available to them. In other words, when forming a co-op, members are motivated to become co-owners of the business primarily so that their mutual needs can be met. And co-ops return financial gains to their members, whether through discounts, lower costs or patronage refunds. People join existing co-ops for a variety of reasons. Whether it is the commitment to community, the democratic approach to business, the desire to be part of a business that is locally owned or something else "uniquely co-op" that appeals, anyone can join a cooperative!
