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.

Ownership is voluntary, it begins with filling out an application and contributing the first equity payment.
