Syracuse Cooperative Market – East Side/Westcott

Syracuse Cooperative Market is a community-owned grocery store that has been part of Syracuse since 1972. This East Side/Westcott location is built around whole, local and organic foods, and it was started by a group of energetic activists in the 1970s who wanted a grocery that matched their values.

The Co-op carries local and organic produce, craft beer, bulk foods and a grab-and-go deli with vegan, vegetarian and omnivore choices. It is open to the public, and owners take part in running it. The founders wanted food that was locally produced, and to support local growers and producers.
