Abundance Co-op suspends shareholder discount amid financial struggles and workers unionizing
April 10, 2025 // Shareholders usually enjoy shopping discounts, but the board of directors has put the program on hold due to financial troubles. They've offered no timeline for its return and have yet to find a suitable alternative. The statement read: "Please continue to shop at Abundance; it is single-handedly the most important decision you can make to help the store. Which leads to another important question people have asked — how bad is the financial status of Abundance? Will the store be shut down? We certainly hope not, and the goal is to avoid that, but we need to consult professionals to analyze what can be done to lessen our expenses in order to keep the store open." The statement also acknowledged the workers' decision to unionize, affirming that the co-op aims to support its staff and uphold fair and lawful election procedures.
