We’re committed to each other as members. We maintain a welcoming store which operates in an atmosphere of trust and respect. We provide an equitable and rewarding workplace for our member-employees. We offer products and services, which reflect our members’ needs, and which balance quality and cost.  
 
 
 
We’re committed to the community. We support local businesses, wholesalers, community groups and institutions in ways that strengthen our community and benefit our members. We embrace diversity and seek to reflect that diversity in our membership.

Weavers Way Co-op gift card.

Weavers Way Co-op gives the following descriptive information:

Weavers Way is a cooperative food market open to the public. Because of the dedication of our members and neighbors throughout the years, Jules Timerman’s tiny buying club has gone far beyond what he imagined back in the summer of ’73. It’s wonderful to think how it has become an integral part of the rich fabric of Northwest Philadelphia today. The International Co-op Principles are the basis of our value system, and we strive to apply them at all levels – from working toward a better Earth to making a shopper happy with a friendly smile.

Our mission as a co-op is to provide high-quality, fairly priced foods and a broader understanding of their importance to our members and community. We have an ongoing commitment to serve and forge a bond between local sustainable food producers and the co-op community.
