Ownership is a one-time cost of $150.

To become an Member-Owner of the Whitewater Grocery Co., I agree to purchase one (1) share of membership stock at a price one hundred and fifty dollars ($150). Only one share is required per household. THERE ARE NO ANNUAL FEES.

Ownership grants the following benefits: creation of a local business dedicated to providing access to full-service grocery store; the right to vote in elections and run for one seat on the board of directors; and financial benefits upon store opening.

Financial benefits may include Member-Owner specials, case lot discounts on special orders, possible patronage refunds during profitable years, and discounts on classes or workshops hosted by the Whitewater Grocery Co.

Pay the full amount or you have the option to pay in installments.

Select the number of installments you would like to pay for your Ownership. For example, if you select 15 installments, you will be billed $10 per month. If you select 1 installment, you will be charged the full amount in one payment.
