Why join
Member benefits.
01
Member appreciation week
Every quarter, members get 10% off an entire shopping trip of their choice that week. Just a little way to say we love you.
02
Special order savings
Member-owners save 20% on bulk and case special orders — order almost anything through our distributors.
03
Daily supplement discount
Member-owners get 10% off all supplements, every single day.
04
A real say
Voting rights for the Board of Directors — plus the ability to run for the board yourself. It’s your store.
05
Profit sharing
In good years, we return a portion of our excess profits to member-owners. When we succeed, you benefit too.
06
Member-owner sales
Returning soon — each month, a number of great deals and discounts available only to our member-owners.
As a democratically run co-operative, Mountain Avenue Market is overseen by a
board voted in by our member-owners — fellow owners with a passion for all
things co-op.
We encourage all member-owners to attend the monthly board meetings — held
the fourth Wednesday of each month — where we set aside time for member
input. It’s your store, after all.
Governance
The alternative to Wall Street.
We are owned by the community in which we live. We answer to our friends and neighbors.
Our member-owners are our shareholders.
