Seattle’s Largest Grocery Co-op

WE AREN’T JUST COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITY

— WE’RE OWNED BY IT.

PCC began as a community of people committed to each other and to good food. Our priorities haven’t changed.

We have always been and still are member-owned and operated — for a $60 lifetime investment, each member owns an equal share of our co-op. Members elect the Board of Trustees each year to represent their interests and participate in advocacy around our local and national food systems.

Unlike other grocery stores, we send our profits directly back to our members, our stores and to the communities we serve. We don’t use private equity, venture capital or the stock market to fund our business, which allows us to remain committed to a triple bottom line: the economic, social and environmental responsibilities that shape our co-op from the ground up.

Statement of Equity and Inclusion

PCC is committed to welcoming people of all identities, cultures and backgrounds. As a triple bottom line cooperative, our vision, mission and values stand firmly rooted in the nourishment and well-being of our planet, its people and communities. While racism and colonialism continue to play a significant role in shaping food systems, PCC is committed to cultivating justice-centered relationships that do not exploit. PCC does not tolerate bigoted behavior within our community. Accordingly, we take action to foster a safe and inclusive environment.
