Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Co-op?

A Co-op (short for Cooperative) is a term for a business structure that is collectively owned by and accountable to its members.  “One owner, one share, one vote” is the organizing principle of all co-ops.  Fiddleheads Co-op is guided by a Board of Directors elected by our Ownership.  The Board of Directors oversees the General Manager who then regulates the day-to-day running of the store. 

Do I need to be a member to shop at Fiddleheads?
No. Everyone is welcome to shop at the co-op.
​
Who can be an Owner?
Ownership is available to anyone interested in joining the Co-op.  Ownership is voluntary, it begins with filling out an application and contributing the first equity payment. At any time owners have the right to terminate their ownership by submitting a request for an equity refund and forfeiting ownership privileges. ​
