Rainbow Grocery

Business Description

Located at 1745 Folsom St, Rainbow Grocery Cooperative has been in San Francisco’s Mission District since 1975. For nearly 50 years we have provided affordable vegetarian food products which have minimal negative impact both ecologically and socially; buying goods from local organic farmers and vendors whenever possible.

As a worker-owned cooperative, those of us who work here are more than simply the people who stock your favorite products, recommend an amazing cheese, or ring up your groceries. We are the owners and decision-makers of the business. While we have come to work here for many different reasons, we all share the common desire to work in a fair, democratic workplace where everyone’s opinion matters. So, not only do we hope to make a difference by providing healthy food and organic products to everyone who shops with us, we believe that our successful business model for cooperative work is also putting the ideals of sustainable living into practice.
