Over 75% of the grocery market is controlled by only 5 companies. Food prices have risen nearly 30% and people are frustrated. All while supermarket chain profits have more than doubled. Farmers are struggling to make ends meet, and Canadians can't even access food grown in their own country. For most of our neighbours, grocery prices are at the top of their list of concerns. We are looking for real solutions.

What is a public grocery store?
Public grocery stores are grocery stores operated for the benefit of the general public rather than purely for profit, typically run by local or national governments, cooperatives, or nonprofits, where operations support public wellbeing rather than profit.
