Chicago Market - A Community Co-op Employee Directory

Food and Beverage ServicesIllinois, United States2-10 Employees

Chicago Market will be a big, bright, beautiful community-owned grocery store featuring local, sustainably farmed, organic produce, meat and dairy products, as well as all of the other staples you'd expect from your market -- dry goods, bulk foods, frozen foods, wine, beer and liquor. We'll have  delicious prepared foods and fresh-baked goods. 

Chicago Market exists to rebuild the connection between food producers and consumers. Because cooperative structure encourages serving owners first, not shareholders, our decisions are your decisions; our goals are your goals; our bottom line is your bottom line.

Focus on local foods.  
Local foods’ is not a marketing tool for Chicago Market; it is our reason for being. We will be a leader in the local foods business, supporting already existing networks, creating new ones, and enabling new markets and distribution channels to open and thrive.

Transparency, Information and Education. 
Unlike traditional grocery stores, Chicago Market will educate its community about food sources and production, provide information about nutrition and the social, economic and political characteristics of food, and practice environmental stewardship, fair labor, and cooperative principles.

Building relationships and strong communities. 
At Chicago Market, farmers are not nameless links in the supply chain—they are integral community partners. Chicago Market will offer an alternative to hierarchical relationships between management and employees, and the typical lack of communication and trust between producers, workers, and consumers.
