Editorial urges co ops to prove themselves in market, not rely on subsidies
A Wall Street Journal editorial questions relying on government aid to start consumer owned grocery co ops. It cites Puerto Rico’s Uni Coop as a successful contrast, with 39 000 member families and 53 2 million in sales last year, urging a broader look at such co ops before federal action.
