WHO IT'S FOR
Built for Businesses—and People Exploring an Opportunity
You don't need to operate a traditional grocery store to serve your local market.
The Platform can provide a starting point for an existing business adding grocery services or an entrepreneur building a new local retail operation.
Independent Grocery Operators
Build an online grocery presence around the customers and area you serve.
Convenience Businesses
Add online ordering to an existing guest-service business.
Personal Shoppers
Build your own customer-facing business instead of relying only on third-party platforms.
Neighborhood Retailers
Expand an existing local business with additional grocery and convenience products.
Delivery & Pickup Operators
Build scheduled local fulfillment around online customer orders.
Independent Entrepreneurs
Build a dedicated grocery or convenience business around your local market.
YOUR PRODUCT CATALOG
Choose What Makes Sense for Your Customers
A neighborhood grocery service, convenience business, residential market, and local delivery operation may need very different products.
Build your catalog around your customers using Co-Op Shopper Product Assets, your own products, or a combination of both.
Product Assets can help you add professionally developed Costco Retail Ready products, Costco Smart Portions, Grocery Bundles, and flexible Everyday Market products without requiring every item to be developed from scratch.
FLEXIBLE BUSINESS MODEL
Choose How You Want to Serve Your Market
The Platform provides the website starting point. You determine the service model that works for your location, customers, and resources.
Scheduled Orders
Allow customers to place grocery orders ahead for a specific delivery or pickup window.
Everyday Ordering
Let customers shop your available groceries, essentials, bundles, and other products online.
Local Delivery
Define the neighborhoods, communities, or service areas where you deliver customer orders.
Customer Pickup
Offer scheduled pickup at a store, business location, or other appropriate pickup point.
BUILT FOR INDEPENDENCE
Start With the Platform. Build the Business Your Way.
Co-Op Shopper provides the website starting point. You control the business built around it.
The primary Platform format uses the easier-to-manage legacy Wix Editor. You maintain your own Wix account and hosting subscription, can connect your own domain, and control the products, pricing, customers, policies, availability, and services offered through your website.
Wix also provides an extensive library of training videos and learning resources for users who want additional help managing their website.
Your Website
Own and manage your website.
Your Products
Choose what you want to sell.
Your Pricing
Set the prices appropriate for your business.
Your Operations
Define your service area, fulfillment, policies, and customer experience.
Your store. Your customers. Your pricing. Your decisions. Your business.
BUILD YOUR STARTING POINT
Choose the Support That Fits You
Some operators want a website foundation they can customize themselves. Others want help building the catalog or preparing the website for their business. Co-Op Shopper lets you start with the resources that make sense for you.
Local Grocery & Convenience Platform
Start with a professionally structured website designed around local grocery shopping, convenience, online ordering, pickup, and delivery.
Starting Catalogs
Begin with a curated collection of 30, 60, or 100 Product Assets instead of building your initial catalog one product at a time.
Website Assistance
Get help with Platform setup, customization, or other website needs through Co-Op Shopper or available Website Partners.
