Founded in 1970, People's Co-op is a thriving neighborhood natural-foods grocery store located in inner Southeast Portland.
It's also a member-owned cooperative that's managed to grow in a city replete with natural-foods stores. People's successfully competes with much larger chain groceries such as Whole Foods and New Seasons, not to mention other specialty food stores such as Zupan's and Trader Joe's.
Local, Sustainable, Fresh and Vegetarian
People's is committed to selling produce and grocery items from small farmers and companies. You'll find things at people you won't find elsewhere, because the producers can't make enough to supply big chain stores.
Honoring its motto, "Don't Panic, It's Organic," People's sticks almost entirely to organic offerings. Any product that isn't organically produced has been carefully vetted by People's buyers to make sure it's free of harmful chemicals and produced in a sustainable manner.
Apart from pet foods, People's stocks only foods that can be made without killing or harming animals.
People's is open every day of the year, including Christmas and New Years Day.
More Than a Food Store
There's more to healthy living than food. People's holds wellness classes and events in its newly extended quarters -- the first cob building to be approved by the city of Portland! Yoga and Qi Gong classes are available to co-op members at no extra charge.
Wednesday is Farmers Market day at People's. Small growers and food makers from in and around Portland offer their wares in the forecourt and the adjoining street.
People's Wants to Hear from You
Check out the extended list of contact options for vendors, customers, job seekers, people seeking food assistance and more.
