Interested in Selling Your Products in Co-ops across the U.S.?
Our “virtual chain” of grocery stores, with more than 230 locations in communities nationwide, is community-owned by the people who shop there. NCG food co-ops sell a full array of groceries, health and wellness, and household products from companies with outstanding values, standards and stories. Our co-ops are destinations for local and regional, natural and organic, specialty/gourmet, fair-trade, and products that are better for the planet and all of its inhabitants.
NCG is a cooperative, 100% owned by and accountable to our member co-ops.
A Partnership Rooted in Shared Values
Food co-ops have long been champions of organic, local, fair trade and sustainability, and we’ve worked to create a thriving market for mission-driven products that have a positive social and environmental impact. Co-op shoppers purchase with purpose; they trust co-ops because of our high standards and trust the brands found on co-op shelves because of the supply chains behind them.
Take the First Steps
NCG’s programs are built to get shelf-placement, optimize sales performance and create efficiencies for brands, while putting your products in the hands of highly committed health and wellness shoppers — co-op customers.
To learn more about NCG programs:
- Attend a “Step 1, Get to Know NCG” webinar: This session offers a topline overview of our Core Sets and Co+op Deals programs and provides an outlet to get your products in front of NCG Category Managers, who act as “buyers” for our virtual chain. Visit Partner Co+nnection to sign up for an upcoming webinar.
- Explore the “Helpful Information” section at Partner Co+nnection: Partner Co+nnection is our vendor portal where brands can find information about NCG and its programs and interact directly with NCG’s Category Managers. Find more program information and resources on Partner Co+nnection.
