economic impact of locally sourced food

Closing Day • Sat. Mar. 9, 2024 3:00pm

The Ideal Green Market Cooperative will officially be closing its doors on Saturday March 9th, 2024 @ 3:00pm.
 
At the February 26th IGMC Board Meeting the difficult decision was made to close the store. Despite a long tenure and efforts made by the board and management, the store has not been financially viable. The board does not take this decision lightly.
 
We would like to sell off all the store's product inventory over the next two weeks.

Did you know?...

... that dollar for dollar, locally sourcing stores like the Green Market creates a greater economic impact than the traditional grocery store. 
  • Traditional Store: $3.5 million in sales, 22 jobs, and $549,000 in labor income.
  • Locally Sourcing Store: $5.7 million in sales, 95 jobs and $1.4 million in labor income
