The Louisville Community Grocery is committed to building a cooperatively-owned grocery store that supports the
local economy by providing healthy, affordable food through just and equitable practices, employment, and ownership.

We believe everyone should have access to fresh and healthy food, in a space that is welcoming to all.

We believe access to healthy food is a human right and our communities’ self-reliance in providing for our food needs is essential. Full service grocery stores have abandoned most of Louisville’s west and central neighborhoods and we hope to address this through community ownership, job creation, and commitment to community health.

Our Vision

The Louisville Community Grocery will be a 15,000 sq ft full service cooperatively owned grocery store in a neighborhood without food retail options. The store will sell an assortment of fruits and vegetables, beans, grains, and meat with conventional, local and organic options and an array of prepared foods in a thriving deli section. The store will accept SNAP and WIC and we will explore partnerships with allies to get the most clean, healthy and affordable fresh food in our store with a focus on affordable, local food.
