Bezazian Library Chicago Market Ownership Info Session
Please join Chicago Market Owners and Board members at the Bezazian Branch of the Chicago Public Library for an informative session on what Chicago Market is, becoming an Owner, and to answer any questions you may have.
Learn how you can become a part of this exciting new place that will change the way you shop for groceries. Owners and Board members will be on hand to answer your questions and tell you more about the Market. And we'll be prepared to sign up new Owners who are ready to buy a stake in this cooperative grocery store.
If you're a small business owner, come learn how becoming a Business Owner of Chicago Market can benefit us both!
Receive an Owners-only Chicago Market tote bag when you join!
The info session is free, but an RSVP is requested.
