Urban Greens Co-Op Market

Providence, RI

Urban Greens began in 2000 as a buying club with the purpose of providing our original 22 members with access to healthy foods at near wholesale rates.

The Co-op officially incorporated in 2007, and as of 2010 has been developing clear strategies to grow in membership, establish community partnerships and ultimately, to open a full-scale grocery store. Implementation of these plans began when the co-op reached a milestone of 500 founding members.Since 2013, the Co-op board has been diligently working with community organizations to secure the necessary funding to design and build a store at 93 Cranston Street. The location is part of a mixed-use development project that includes affordable housing and 8,000 square feet of retail space.

With the official opening of the Urban Greens Co-op Market — today, June 27! — the Co-op is fulfilling its mission to, “be open to all and support the health and well-being of our customers by offering nutritious, affordable food that is sustainably sourced, culturally inclusive, and supportive of local food.
