At the end of March, we announced our first goal for our owner drive, 30 by April 30. We surpassed the goal with a week to spare!

We’ve partnered with other Bay City businesses to offer owner incentives before the market is open. Our first partner is Bay City Yoga, 921 Washington Avenue in downtown Bay City. The fine folks at Bay City Yoga donated a gift basket for our 30 by April 30 goal.

Using an online random number generator, number 27 was drawn. Owner number 27 is Patrick Williams! Congratulations, Patrick. Thank you for becoming an owner and we hope you enjoy the gift from Bay City Yoga.

The next ownership goal is 61 by 6/1. We’re looking for 61 or more total owners by June 1. If we can meet this goal, Konkle’s Super Service, at 715 Center Avenue, will donate a $50 gift certificate! Konkle’s offers speedy oil changes and full-service auto repairs on all makes and models of vehicles.

If you’re not an owner of Bay City Cooperative Market, now is the time to consider signing on. A share is just a one-time investment of $200! Or Become a Founding Member by buying your share and giving extra capital, totaling $400. Sign up online and learn more at baycityfood.org.
