A Democratic, Co-operative Supermarket
The People’s Supermarket is the brainchild of English chef Arthur Potts Dawson, who is seeking to offer an alternative to the expensive food sold by supermarket chains. Dawson is planning to set up his supermarket to be run by the people. The workforce will consist of volunteers who will commit time to the store in return for discounts on their shopping and a role in the management of the enterprise. Because of the low staff costs and the non-profit nature of the organization, the People’s Supermarket will be able to price their items considerably cheaper.
People in the UK who are interested in joining the supermarket can register on their site.
