ABOUT

GreenTree is a cooperatively owned grocery store located in Mt. Pleasant, MI. We are open to the public and everyone is welcome to shop. Our goal is to provide healthy, earth-friendly food that meets high-quality standards and to provide information and education to the people of Mid Michigan. We believe in supporting local farmers and producers, and in helping people to make informed choices about their own health and their impact on the greater environment.

In order to better meet those goals, we have partnered with other Co-ops through the National Co-op Grocers. To find Co-ops in other parts of the country, check out the Co-op Finder.

We accept cash, credit/debit cards, checks, and food stamps.

GreenTree is expanding and relocating because we have grown beyond our current building’s ability to meet the needs of our Owners, shoppers, and community.

Some fun facts about our expansion and new space:

  • We’ll have 10,000 square feet of space – quadruple our current size.
  • This will create 15-20 new jobs with a commitment to a living wage and competitive benefits.
  • Indoor and outdoor seating and an expanded prepared foods department including a full-service deli counter, plus all of your favorite grab-and-go items!
  • More fresh, local, organic produce – produce will be a premier department, and our ability to support local farmers and producers will be greatly expanded in this new space.
  • Updated equipment and wider aisles will create a more comfortable shopping experience.
  • A dedicated parking lot will make trips to the Co-op more convenient – especially in inclement weather!
