Three Sisters Market
The Three Sisters Market is currently under construction. It will be a ground-up building spanning 12,000 square feet at Clanton Road and West Boulevard. The area is recognized as a food desert, and the market will be the first functional grocery store in over 30 years. The market will serve as a grocery store and community space, featuring meeting rooms, co-working options, and event space.

WHAT’S A CO-OP?
A co-op, or cooperative, is a business or organization owned and democratically controlled by its members, who can be customers, employees, or other stakeholders. In a co-op, members pool their resources and share in the decision-making process and the organization’s benefits. Co-ops can take many forms.
Three Sisters Market is a food co-op that will serve the West Boulevard Corridor and Charlotte-Mecklenburg region. A grocery store owned by the community (and by you, if you choose). Unlike corporate chains, food co-ops are totally independent and owned by the community members who shop there.
We are guided by principles and values that define our identity.

OUR COMMUNITY
Imagine a world where fresh, healthy, and affordable food options are available to everyone, no matter where they live. A food co-op can help make this a reality by building a strong sense of community among its members. Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where members participate in decision-making processes and events can support the local economy and create new jobs while promoting social connections and community ownership. We can make a difference and create a better future for all with effective planning, needs assessment, and outreach strategies.
