The Cooperative

With Cooperatives typically, members pay fees or dues to get something in return such as patronage discounts. Owners invest and benefit if the business prospers. Awesome Grocery must create economic linkages with the member-owners by undertaking activities that make a clear and close connection between the prosperity of the company and the prosperity of the members.

 
 

 Cooperative Ownership

For Awesome Grocery, owner equity and patronage refunds will be the tools that create and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship between the cooperative and its owners.  

 Needed Capital

It  is no secret that cooperative businesses require capital.  Most cooperatives generate capital in part through the investments of member-owners. In essence cooperatives have a symbiotic relationship with their owners. 

 The co-op’sPurpose

A member share program has two essential goals: Member shares provide the co-op with an adequate capital base, and cooperatives create a sense of ownership with the community. The co-op’s purpose is to meet member needs, and the member’s needs are what fuel the cooperative.

Awesome Grocery North Tulsa's Cooperative

Inside Awesome Grocery

The mission of Awesome Grocery is to provide Tulsa, Oklahoma’s residents with a combination of quality, authentic, hard to find, grocery items, with good service and a pleasant atmosphere.  Our store motto is, “eat and enjoy.”

The deli will serve sandwiches, salads, specialty drinks, and picnic lunches. Gift items will complement the international theme of the store and include a limited selection of kitchen wares, cookbooks, picnic items, and original apparel. Gift baskets will also be available in the store and over the Internet.  All the recipes used in the deli will highlight the grocery items sold in the market. 

The gourmet and specialty foods market is booming across the country. Consumers are looking for quality food coupled with a quality shopping experience. Many large cities have entire sections dedicated to ethnic foods and culture. Downtown Tulsa is booming as more and more people are moving inside the Inner Dispersal Loop. These new populations are starved for the fine ingredients they were able to purchase in other parts of the city and are looking for a new solution to their problem. Many of Tulsa’s residents and visitors have expressed the desire for a local gourmet food store.

 

By making alliances with local farmers and restaurants, as well as international distributors, Awesome Grocery will give customers a combination of “shopping local” and wide gourmet selection previously unavailable in many areas of the city. For residents, Awesome Grocery offers a more convenient and appealing option than ordering on-line or driving across town to buy groceries.
