Become an Owner
Tidal Creek Co-op is a community-owned grocery store built around participation and shared responsibility. As a cooperative, we’re owned and guided by the people who shop here, with decisions shaped by the needs of the community. That shared involvement helps keep Tidal Creek responsive, rooted, and focused on what matters most.
Ownership With Impact
