  • Park Slope Food Coop a Self-Managed Supermarket in New York City
    PARK SLOPE FOOD COOP A SELF-MANAGED SUPERMARKET IN NEW YORK CITY Created in 1973 in the heart of the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York (United States) by a small group of committed neighbors, the Park Slope Food Coop is a member-owned and operated food store, representing an alternative to commercial profit-oriented business. With its 17.000 members who perform today 75% of the supermarket management work and thanks to the great results achieved, Park Slope Food Coop has become famous in the world and similar self-managed supermarkets are being implemented in United States, France and Belgium. In many countries where the Cooperative Movement is highly developed, there are countless experiences of managing large-scale food distribution by cooperatives. The innovation that characterizes the Park Slope Food Coop is the management system of the supermarket implemented by the members of the Cooperative. In the Park Slope Food Coop (PSFC), in fact, the shareholders participate not only through the assemblies in which the operational choices are defined (principles, products, prices, service modes), but also making their direct work in the supermarket, for at least 2 hours and 45 minutes of work every four weeks. The large amount of the cooperative members allows everyone to make a time investment compatible with work commitments. Members contribute to manage various functions of the supermarket, such as the reception and placing of goods in the exhibition spaces, the cleaning, the packaging, depending on their respective abilities, limiting the hiring of salaried personnel to ensure the most complex management and administration functions.
