The Lexington Co-op is part of the modern co-operative movement which began in Rochdale, England in 1844. Today approximately 765 million individuals are members of co-ops. In the US alone, the are over 47 thousand co-ops with over 100 million members. Members of these co-ops pool resources to achieve a variety of shared goals. Working together they have organized childcare co-ops, credit unions, farmers co-operatives, worker owned businesses, and more. The Lexington Co-op was formed in 1971 by members who wanted access to whole foods at reasonable prices. Since then, it has evolved from an entirely member run organization to a fully functioning store with paid staff. Members of the Lexington Co-op can take pride in a $20 Billion Natural Foods Industry that they pioneered with their dedication, hard work, and cooperation!
