Company Shops Market
Keeps Moving Ahead
 On
Sunday, November 11, 2007, more than 100 Alamance residents gathered
at the farm of Board President, Sam Moore. Everyone that attended
was anxious to hear about the vision for Company Shops Market and
the progress that has been made in fundraising and in securing a
location. More than $45,000 has already been raised through the sale
of ownership shares (including 25 household shares sold that day)
and the Community Investment Note Program. After the location
consultant visits in early December, the board intends to make a
decision regarding location of the Co-op. Melissa Frey, Project
Manager, has been gathering information about locations in downtown
Burlington and the Burlington Outlet Village (formerly BMOC). She
and Sam stressed the importance of folks showing their support
up-front for the Co-op, as that support is what will get the store
open and operating with financial strength. The goal is to sell 150
more shares by December 31.
 As
Sam Moore spoke surrounded by rows of his apple trees and lettuces
and cabbage, he stressed the importance of supporting local,
sustainable food systems for our physical health and the health of
our local economy and for food security. “We cannot entrust our
well-being to mega corporations and food that has come from
thousands of miles away,” explains Sam. “A community owned grocery
store just makes sense.”
