      I’ve been thinking of starting one in my neighborhood for a while. There’s a grocery store that closed down and the space is still available. Fridges and all!

      But it’s quite the enterprise. And you have to deal with disagreable people who want control. I have some experience working with groups in clubs and things like that.

        Ottawa desperately needs one of these. Centretown is completely owned by Loblaws

            I bet it would be an incredibly rewarding endeavour to serve one’s community by running an independent grocery store. But like the article says:

            Meanwhile, independent grocery stores face rising costs and shrinking margins.

            How do you stay afloat in this current crazy business environment?

              Karma Co-op almost went out of business in like 2019. Not sure how they survived. The article just sounds like an ad for Karma Co-op, but at least it’s for a good cause.
