About Us
Los Alamos Cooperative Market is a community-owned grocery store located at 95 Entrada Dr in Los Alamos; by the Holiday Inn Express on the eastern edge of town.
Our Mission
The mission of the Cooperative is to serve Los Alamos County and surrounding communities by providing fairly priced, wholesome foods and other goods in an ecologically sustainable, socially responsible, and economically appropriate manner. The Co-op will further strive to:
- emphasize food for people, not just for profit;
- maintain a high standard of quality for the products it sells;
- foster the development of northern New Mexican growers and producers through its purchasing policies;
- employ a democratic and cooperative governance structure and ethical business practices;
- promote fairness, participation, and empowerment in the workplace and the community;
- work to encourage and implement appropriate environmental practices;
- promote awareness about food, nutrition, health, and cooperative values; and
- be responsive and accountable to the community it serves.
