Green Top Grocery Capital Campaign Case Study

Published September 30, 2016, by Food Co-op Initiative

In 2016 Green Top Grocery (GTG), a startup in Illinois ran the highest startup capital campaign to date.

Through three webinars and extensive examples, they share their success, planning, and hard work for all members of the retail food co-op startup community. These resources, coupled with the Capital Campaign Workbook, are excellent starting points for any group preparing for a campaign, whether you call it an Owner Loan, Member Loan, or Capital Campaign.
