The story

The George Street Co-op was formed in 1973 when ten people from the Rutgers Vegetarian Club started a buying club out of a garage near George Street in New Brunswick. A year later, the Co-op moved to a new building on George Street and opened a small retail store. In May 1988, the George Street Co-op purchased and moved into a new building at 89 Morris Street.
