Connection: We create a space for people to come together and be part of a community of like-minded people facing similar challenges and working toward a common goal.
Change: We transform how business is done and decisions are made by addressing root causes and supporting those most affected to lead the charge. We seek long-lasting change today.

Long Beach Grocery Cooperative
235 E. Broadway #800, Long Beach, 90802
Our mission: Long Beach Grocery Cooperative (LBGC) is a member-owned and operated consumer cooperative that is committed to providing the community with affordable, high quality, wholesome foods, and products for healthy living. The co-op is committed to supporting local agriculture, artisans, and fair trade, educating our community on benefits of healthy eating, and using sustainable practices.
What is a community food co-op? A community food co-op is a consumer-owned cooperative—that means if you join, you own it and so do your neighbors and friends. When you make an investment in Long Beach Grocery Co-op, you receive financial benefits. You also become part of something bigger: a group of consumers joining together to grow a business that meets their needs. In return, the co-op makes this promise: we pledge to serve our community with quality products and honest information. Unlike most businesses that make decisions primarily to maximize profits, cooperatives make decisions to maximize service to their owners and the community. Long Beach grocery co-op will be a full-service grocery market. Co-ops are founded on the belief that we can achieve greater results by working together than we can by working alone.
We are a consumer co-op: a business that is voluntarily owned and controlled by the people who use it.
