This year marks Seward Community Co-op’s 50th anniversary. We have had a long and wonderful journey. With three locations—Franklin and Friendship stores, and Co-op Creamery production facility and offices—we have grown from our modest start. One of the reasons for our co-op’s growth and vitality is the 22,000 households in the community that own the co-op. Every day we have new families joining our co-op.
Another important part of our history of growth is that some co-op owners have decided to invest in the co-op beyond their membership share. Have you ever thought of investing in Seward Co-op? The co-op is currently accepting investments. The opportunity to invest in the co-op is a benefit of ownership. Many owners and shoppers already believe in Seward Co-op’s Ends Statement. Sustain that mission while keeping your household’s money local and building community-based resources. Loans to the co-op have interest rates of 2.5 to 5.25 percent. You can also purchase Class C stock, a non-voting investment stock that pays annual dividends.
