Newark Natural Foods

NEWARK NATURAL FOODS

Customer Snapshot: Food, Family, Home since 1967

Founded in 1967, Newark Natural Foods started as a Food Buying Club, a place for people to purchase locally sourced, unadulterated, unrefined, organically grown food. Since then, they have grown into a Co-Operative grocery store with over 4,000 active member households.

It Just Comes Naturally

Being a Co-Op means that Newark Natural Foods is owned and operated by members of the community. You don’t need to be a member to shop there but being a member gives you a partial say in how the Co-Op is run. Members vote on a Board of Stewards who appoint the general manager and decide on the mission and mandate of the organization. Many businesses live by the mantra “The Customer is always right,” but Newark Natural Foods actually lives it by inviting members to help decide how the Co-Op can best serve the community they operate in.

Because of this unique method of operation, Newark Natural Foods caters to the needs of their customer in ways many other grocery stores do not. They offer food and drinks that accommodate even the most strict dietary needs. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, have food allergies, or even if you’re just looking for healthier options, Newark Natural Foods has something for you.

Relationship with PJP

PJP was able to provide the Co-Op with a wide range of environmentally sensitive options including compostable and biodegradable plastic containers, recycled paper bags, and trash bags made from recycled plastic.

By partnering with PJP, Newark Natural Foods is able to buy all of the unique green products they need for daily operations from just one vendor, as opposed to buying from many different places.

o PJP even helped them with all of the equipment and small-wares they needed to get the kitchen in their 67 Cafe up and running.
