Wedge Community Co-op
The Wedge Community Co-op, a natural foods grocery store, has been a feature of its South Minneapolis neighborhood since it started in 1974. The Wedge is owned by 14,000+ members from the Metro Area and beyond. We continue to pioneer ways to bring delicious organic and sustainable food to our community. In 1999 our wholesale distribution department, Co-op Partners Warehouse was created. Co-op Partners is now a major distributor of perishable products to co-ops in four states and works closely with local and regional producers to help get their products to market. In 2002 the Wedge became the first Certified Organic Retailer in Minnesota. In 2007 the co-op entered a purchase agreement to buy Gardens of Eagan, one of the oldest local certified organic farms that served the Twin Cities area and began running the farm. While we grow as a business, we never lose our primary commitment to our membership. The foundation of all our work is and will always remain service to our community of members and the values they hold dear.
