You asked and Chicago Market answered.

Many of you told us that $250 is a lot to pay all at once to become a Chicago Market Owner, so our ace finance/tech/legal team has developed an ownership payment plan.

Now, you can help build your dream grocery store for as little as $25 a month. 

You'll receive all the rights and benefits of ownership from your first payment onward, as long as you remain in good standing. That means you can vote for the Board of Directors, run to serve on the Board of Directors, get discounts on classes and special events, and, of course, strut around town with your fashionable Chicago Market tote bag.

The process of creating this payment plan has been wonderfully indicative of how we hope and expect Chicago Market to function. Chicago Market leaders always intended to implement a payment plan -- some day. But we've been pretty swamped making sure our summer ownership campaign -- #1000in100 -- is a success.

So many of you, though, came to us at events and told us that money was your only barrier to ownership. We knew the payment plan had to move way up on the agenda to make this community co-op as inclusive as possible. 

You asked and we answered. Now please join us on this exciting journey of building your local, sustainable grocery store.
