Gomo Coop: the firts cooperative participative supermarket  in Latin America is about to open its doors in São Paulo!

Right in the city of São Paulo's heart, we will open our store, an innovative supermarket where shoppers are also owners and participate in the operation of the store. This idea has been successful for years in cities like New York, Lisbon, Paris, Berlin and Brussels. Now, it's São Paulo's turn to experience this model.

Our space is currently being renovated at Rua Santa Isabel, 172 - República, São Paulo, Brazil.

 Why do we need your support?

Opening a supermarket starts with stocking the shelves—in cash.

While large chains pressure producers to provide products free of charge at store openings, a cooperative like ours is born without credit, privileges, or agreements that compromise the autonomy of producers. That's why we need the support of those who believe that a different supermarket is possible, with respect and commitment to producers and suppliers.

And what are the differences between our model and a traditional market?

At Gomo Coop, to access 100% organic produce and a wide variety of organic and conventional essential items at good prices, each person contributes just three hours per month to simple tasks—such as operating the cash register, cleaning the store, or restocking the shelves. Our operation is non-profit. All savings from collective labor go back to the community in discounts and store improvements. And what's more! Each person votes on decisions, monitors finances, and participates in the management of a common good: our cooperative.
