The Dieppe Co-Op Project
More and more, the Dieppe
population is enthusiastic about the possibility of having a friendly
grocery store that reflects who they are and provides them with a feeling of
belonging. The proposed formula for the store is a co-operative, meaning
that the members own the store and support it by shopping there. Volunteers have done some preliminary work and research within the community
to determine the feasibility of having a food co-operative in the region.
The research has shown that the people of Dieppe are indeed interested in
going forward with the Co-op grocery store. They now face the challenge of
recruiting more than 2,200 families. The grocery store will be approximately 31,500 sq. ft. and will offer full grocery and produce selection, deli, meat counter, seafood section, pharmacy, gas bar and a café/eating area.
