PCC Natural Markets
PCC Natural Foods claims, probably quite justifiably, to be the largest natural foods cooperative in the United States. With 7 store locations and an office building, this seems fairly probable. The cooperative was founded as a buying club by 15 families in 1953 and has grown to the point that they reported over $75,000,000 in sales in 2002.
Membership requires one $60 share plus a $2 processing fee. Benefits include 5% savings on the 15th and 16th of each month, special savings coupons, and Cooking class discounts.
