Member Owners

The Minnesota Street Market is a cooperative business owned by its members. We would like to invite you to become a Member Owner!

A basic principle of cooperatives is member economic participation

To become a member, you buy $100 worth of share of voting stock.

All businesses need some base capital to buy inventory, finance operations, pay for new equipment and new technology, and respond to unplanned events and opportunities. In our cooperative, the members, through their equity ownership shares, provide an essential financial foundation to our community-owned business. It starts with you!
