What is Kennett Community Grocer?
The Kennett Community Grocer will be a welcoming space that provides the whole community with quality, local, accessible food.
The Kennett Community Grocer, a member-owned and operated food co-op, will be the anchor of your everyday shopping—a one-stop grocery store that nurtures the economy, health, and fellowship of the Kennett Square area. It will source many products from local farms and producers, create living-wage jobs, and provide access to healthful food and nutrition education. This sustainable food co-op is the missing link in our neighborhood.
