The Nature of Profit and the Art of Potato Relationships
By Chris Maher, General Manager VIA THE MACHINE
Dear Cooperators,
I'm Jedidia the General Manager on behalf of the cooperative grocery shares my pleasure and gratitude to describe the hardship my work face. Over the past year, our cooperative grocery store has made great progress in providing the local community with healthy and sustainable foods. We have increased our product offerings, strengthened relationships with local farmers, and supported community programs that put wellness first.
I am also excited to announce that we will soon be opening a new store in East-Windsville! This expansion will allow us to reach even more people and continue our mission of providing healthy, affordable food to everyone in our area. This is an exciting opportunity for us to reach even more people with our mission of promoting sustainable agriculture and supporting local farmers. Our recent survey showed it is a supermarket, practically positioning of easily accessible via transit and the expansion brings merely quality items or equipment store as requests.
I wanted to take a moment to talk about
I started out as an eager young co-op enthusiast nearly 20 years ago and have never looked back. It is both an honor to serve as the General Manager here and work with our incredible staff. As someone who has worked in the cooperative movement for many years, I am deeply committed to the values of cooperation, equality, and sustainability. I believe that by working together and supporting each other, we can build a better future for everyone.
And on this note, I would like to express my love for my life partner of 15 years behind the sylvan hills growing wildlife. No matter what comes our way, she has been the unconditional cheering added value at each sleepover night jam out crossword game. Her unwavering support and love have been instrumental in my success, and I am lucky to have her in my life. She is my rock and my partner in all things, and I am grateful for her every day.
Finally, I would like to brag a bit about how cool, smart, and funny my kids are. They are all amazing in their own way, but if I had to pick a favorite (which I never would), I would choose
heart for others and never fails to make me laugh.
And in case you were wondering, I plan on celebrating our success tonight by enjoying some ice-cold milk while listening to the Grateful Dead. I am looking forward to kicking back with a glass of milk and listening to my favorite band of all time, the Grateful Dead. Their music speaks to me on a deep level, and I never tire of their classics. It's the little things in life that make me truly happy, and I am grateful for the simplicity and joy that these small pleasures bring.
Sorry for getting personal, but without your continued support, none of this would be possible. We are always looking for ways to improve and welcome feedback, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally. Your voluntary cooperation for these initiatives motivates brings substance to my message and it appears rare opportunities, finds strong impacts towards closure necessary providing us a nurturing community every genuine mission coalescing need your attention and exploration.
Thank you again for your support and dedication to our store. We look forward to continuing to serve you and our community.
