About


Dear cooperative community:

The Dill Pickle has had a successful turnaround through the summer of 2023! Thanks to your support, we've raised sales over 11%, beating our initial goal of a 10% increase. Our next, and very important goal, is to hit breakeven (the sales level that allows us to be fiscally sustainable). That level is $130,000 a week.

To help achieve that goal, we need to make some key investments in the store that include:

  • - Refresh the look and feel of the café
  • - Reconfigure the wine section that will include removing the former salad bar (where we’ll shift the wine) and adding additional frozen cases to offer more selection 
  • - Add new produce fixtures to better highlight our fresh, local selection
  • - Replace a compressor serving our frozen aisle that has been going down more frequently
 
To do so, we need to raise $20,000 in new operating capital. Please contribute to our goal by making a one-time or recurring donation here or increasing your equity in the co-op (owners can hold up to $1,000 in equity).

Thank you for helping us reach our goal and for ensuring that the Dill Pickle can continue to be source for local food in Logan Square
