Our Story
We’re the only fresh-food grocery store in Mt. Pulaski, proudly serving our city and all the surrounding communities in Southern Logan County. At Market on the Hill grocery store, we believe that quality, fresh, and convenient foods, combined with personal relationships are essential to a vibrant, sustainable community.
We’re working toward the collective community benefit of healthy food and a healthy economy through co-ownership and supporting local producers and farmers. We have Owners and Members, but shoppers from the general public are equally important in making this community-owned business a success.
Our store is open to EVERYONE, starting in Spring of 2020!
We only HOPE you choose to become an owner.
Becoming an owner shows your commitment and support to the community in an attempt to sustain a local grocery in Mt. Pulaski.
We adopted co-op business model to raise capital amongst members of the community and allow them to become owners. For two reasons
1) to create a group of owners who we knew would support the Market to serve as the economic base to become sustainable
2) to spread risk of ownership out to a larger number of people.
