For Common Market, bigger does not mean deviation from the core values on which the Co-op was founded 46 years ago - people and planet first, then profit. The Common Market is a member-owned cooperative serving the Frederick area with high-quality natural foods, health products, and household supplies. The Common Market seeks to responsibly serve t... he company's community by offering a path to a sustainable, healthful future through its structure, policies, practices, and shared values. At Common Market, everyone is welcome. Both owners and non-owners are invited to take advantage of the company's local grocery items, expanded café menus, and educational opportunities. At the Common Market, local constitutes products that are grown or produced within 150 miles of the Co-op stores. The company partners with sustainable local farmers and businesses to provide the company's community with the freshest, most nutritious, and delicious whole foods in the company's area. Local tags on signage and shelving throughout the store allow shoppers to support area businesses, making the company's local economy stronger, contributing to green initiatives, and relying less on supply chains. In addition to creating over 70 new jobs within the Common Market organization, the expansion team included local businesses: Waynesboro Construction, Bates Architects, Eco Developers LLC, Miles & Stockbridge, Warner Commercial, Xecunet, Graphcom, M.S. Johnston, and D Impression Signs. Financing from Woodsboro Bank and sales of C-shares to nearly 300 owner-investors solidified the Common Market's belief that a business should be a positive contributor to the community.Read More
