Buying Club

One of the benefits of Concord Food Co-op Membership is the buying club. Harkening back to the co-op buying clubs that flourished in the 1960’s and 70’s, our Buying Club allows Co-op Members to take advantage of the store’s buying power to reduce food costs. Co-op Members are able to place wholesale orders and buy in bulk through the store at a great savings over the retail rate.

What’s available from the Buying Club?
Over 22,000 items from the Co-op’s primary supplier.
