SUMMARY:Converting Your Grocery Store to a Co-op
DESCRIPTION:Well drat! We’ve reached our registration limit for this special webinar. This topic is in high demand! The webinar will be recorded and made available to the public by May 15th on FCI’s You Tube Channel. Please reach out to us at info@fci.coop to receive the recording directly.  \nGrocery stores across the country are for sale\, at risk of closing\, or have an owner who is thinking about retiring in the near future. Converting that grocery store into a food co-op is an exciting and viable option that more and more grocers\, employees\, and communities are considering. \nFood Co-op Initiative\, the Rural Grocery Initiative\, and experts Stuart Reid and Bonnie Hudspect have joined forces to develop a new FCI Action Guide to help you understand the conversion process and the steps involved. \nTo launch the new tool\, FCI is hosting a special webinar. Join Erica Blair (Rural Grocery Initiative)\, Faye Mack (FCI)\, and Stuart Reid (The Co-op Consultant) for a 60-minute webinar on Wednesday\, May 8th\, to learn more about why the cooperative model might be right for your community’s grocery store and how to get started. \nWHAT: A special webinar about converting your grocery store to a food co-op!\nWHEN: Wednesday\, May 8th at 2-3pm eastern / 1-2pm central / 12-1pm mountain / 11-12pm pacific \nQuestions? Reach out to Faye Mack at faye@fci.coop \n
