Patronage Refunds

A patronage refund is a form of profit sharing. Co-op members receive patronage refunds in profitable years when declared by the Board of Directors.

Patronage refunds are distributed in direct proportion to a Co-op member’s patronage, or the amount of money they spent at our stores during a fiscal year. The decision to offer a patronage refund is made between October and December, following the end of our yearly financial audit.
