Organically Growing Since 2001.
Our goal is to provide food and other goods of quality at a fair price. Quality includes how the goods are produced, such as organically, a standard we will strive for (as opposed to synthetically-produced). Price is important because food is a necessity of life, and no one likes to feel ripped-off when buying it.
Our philosophy is to put food first, and keep overhead low. We won’t be building a food palace such as the supermarkets in Rapid City have done. We feature organic produce, and try to buy from local growers whenever we can, to facilitate the production of more food locally. We buy goods in bulk as much as possible, for the cost savings.
Another cost-saving service that members have available is making special orders at a discounted price. In this we function like a food buying club, with some distinct advantages. We are able to order more often than buying clubs do–weekly in fact. We pay lower wholesale prices. We have unlimited membership (clubs generally are limited in size for practical reasons). Whereas the clubs are private, we are open to all, with an advertised storefront that serves the community at large.
Yet another way we provide great service and price is through special ordering on-line. This internet-based system is an efficient, low-cost way to deliver food. In this way, members can conveniently turn their shopping lists into shopping bags full of groceries, to be picked up within a few days.
Business Ownership–Within Your Reach
Once you join Breadroot, you can say, “This is my store.” Can you say that about many other businesses that you patronize? Ultimately, as the co-op grows, we’ll be able to pay out dividends to our members, based on the amount of patronage done with the co-op. Dividends are another good reason to join, shop at, and spread the word about your store, Breadroot Cooperative.
