The Central North Side is requesting your support to generate interest in support of accommodating a natural and organic food market to be located in the Garden Theater building on North Avenue. The building is on the verge of rehabilitation culminating the efforts of almost 20 years from community supporters; also ending over 40 years of blight that has affected perhaps the most prominent and visible part of the neighborhood. Acquiring this tenant is a critical step towards the development of the North Side of tomorrow.
We are asking for your support in showing the potential tenant that interest in patronage will be supported. Although it will be member owned, membership on the co-op will not be required to shop there. However, it is with the support of its members that a cooperative is able to sustain itself. Membership also entails many benefits such as varying discounts on all purchases, voting privileges and access to their credit union. The cost of a lifetime membership is $100, can be made in quarterly payments of $25 at your convenience, and is fully refundable at any time should you decide so.
We are seeking to generate interest, if you would consider support and membership of a natural and organic food market, thus setting in motion a critical step towards revitalization of an entire community then please sign this petition and demonstrate a collaborative effort to show this potential tenant that their inclusion in the Central North Side would be welcomed and supported.

The project reach has met the threshold required to initiate formal discussions with the East End Food Co Op board. I have sent the current petition data to their planning committee and am preparing a detailed proposal for the Garden Theater site.

We seriously need more fresh produce options over here. Driving way out just to get decent organic food is such a pain. Hope this happens soon.
Living right down the street and I am so ready for this. Tired of picking over the same old stuff at the corner store.
YES PLEASE. I have been waiting for a grocery store like this in the neighborhood forever. Would shop there every single week.
Total game changer for the north side. Fix the building and give us somewhere healthy to buy food. Its about time.
Finally some good news for the garden theater. Make it happen.

The Garden Theater has been an eyesore for way too long. Put a co-op in there and finally bring some life back to the block.
