Weavers Way Co-op is a member-owned consumers' cooperative with stores open to everyone, based Northwest Philadelphia. Founded in 1973 as a neighborhood food buying club in a church basement in Philadelphia's West Mt. Airy section, Weavers Way has grown to more than 5,200 member households, with annual sales of nearly $20 million. After moving to its location at 559 Carpenter Lane, Weavers Way expanded, purchasing the adjacent building and consolidating the two buildings. Subsequent expansions included the purchase of other buildings in the neighborhood, which house a pet supply store, health and wellness store and offices. In 2010, Weavers Way underwent a major expansion, adding a second grocery store in Chestnut Hill, at 8424 Germantown Ave., at the former Caruso's grocery store site. Then, in 2013, Weavers Way opened a health and beauty specialty store, also in Chestnut Hill. For several years, Weavers Way also ran a smaller store in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia, but that closed in September 2011. The Co-op rents warehouse space in the SHARE food pantry complex in the Nicetown neighborhood. Two farm operations comprise 5.5 acres, one at Awbury Arboretum in Germantown and one on the grounds of Saul Agricultural High School in Roxborough. Weavers Way has participated in such events and organizations as Mt.
