Raise startup capital for Earth's Refillery Coop

We are so grateful to have a strong community who has been so supportive for decades, from the time that Earth's General Store first opened its doors, through all of its moves, and even during its impending closure. We are now asking for your help opening this new space. This is not a recreation of Earth's General Store, but a continuation of the legacy it left behind.

We’ve been busy since the fall of 2024. We’ve done tons of research and planning, filed our paperwork, submitted our plans, signed our lease, and now we’re getting ready for the fun part. It will take some time and work to transform the space and get it set up and ready to open. And it will take money. Michael and the rest of our team have secured $100,000 in personal investment, but we need help with the rest. To open the store with all the equipment and inventory we need, we will need to raise about $150,000 more.

There are 2 main channels for raising this money: donations and pre-purchases.

We ask that if you can afford to help, resonate with our values, want to help us achieve our mission, and want to see a cooperative, anti-capitalist, community oriented cafe and bulk refillery succeed in our city, please consider donating, contact us about pre-purchasing a gift card or a membership, or a combination of the above.

We are so excited to discover all of the things we can accomplish together in the future, and we thank you for your encouragement, care, and support.
