Succession planning is a crucial part of any business plan. In the world of grocery, it helps ensure communities maintain access to food, even after an owner exits the business.

Often, business transitions create opportunities to think creatively and partner with the local community. That's why in Part Two of the Rural Grocery Succession Planning Webinar Series, we will dive deeper into community-supported grocery ownership models.

What are the characteristics of various grocery ownership models, and how do communities decide the right fit? Join us to discuss these questions and more.

Upcoming webinar topics include:

  • August 18: Member cooperative grocery stores
  • September 15: Worker-owned grocery stores
  • October 20: Grocery-municipal partnerships
  • November 17: School-owned and nonprofit grocery stores
  • December 15: Webinar series recap and final takeaways
