Mission, Principles, and Motto

Our Mission:

The Regent Market Co-op is dedicated to meeting the needs of shoppers from our local neighborhoods. Maintaining the charm and personal attention of a neighborhood grocery store, the Co-op is committed to operating on a sound financial basis so as to continue to be a reliable source of a wide selection of products for our members and other customers.

Our Principles

  • Recognize the importance of buying locally grown/produced products by continuing to support local growers and producers as proud members of the Dane Buy Local Initiative
  • Maintain and practice cooperative principles by continuing strong advisory and reciprocal relationships with other Madison-area grocery cooperatives
  • Encourage members to support the RMC by shopping weekly.
  • Encourage feedback and suggestions on how RMC can better serve its members and other customers
  • Remain connected to RMC members through multiple communication channels, including in-store notices, email newsletters, and updates to RMC web locations
  • Prioritize collaboration with proximal businesses, as the Regent and Allen business district is vital to the community and important to the success of the RMC
  • Aim to be a community hub by offering draft beer, hand-dipped ice cream, food truck collaborations, and yearly membership events, fostering familiarity and fondness for the store as a meeting space
  • Continue to improve our decision-making by making full use of our point-of-sale system (COPOS) for sales management, inventory management, and profitability management.

Our Motto:

Locally grown, Neighborhood owned
