A
cooperative is a business corporation which is operated for the
mutual benefit of its users. It is owned and controlled on a
democratic basis -one member- one vote. Our cooperative's
purpose is to supply it's member with products and services.
Hood River
Supply is a consumer cooperative, which means that any individual
can be a member, however, this doesn't mean an individual has to be a
member to buy at Hood River Supply.
Cooperatives, including Hood River Supply, distribute their annual
savings to their members in the form of patronage. Patronage is
determined by the total purchases of the member in relationship to
overall sales, of which a portion, not less than 20%, is paid in cash
and the balance in revolving stock.
Hood River
Supply was organized in 1949 and has been in its present location,
on the heights, since 1967. Hood River Supply is affiliated with
companies like: CENEX, Land O Lakes, Agriliance, Ace Hardware, Massey Ferguson and Landini, to mention a few. |
