South Vallejo Grant Grocery Cooperative, Inc. (SVG Grocery Co-op) is a worker-owned cooperative that seeks to invest in the health, well-being and economic opportunity of South Vallejoans. Founded in 2021 by a group of community members, SVG Grocery Co-op will be the first worker-owned and operated full-service grocery store to serve Vallejo.
For over 30 years, our neighborhood has been without a full-service grocery store.
A local convenience store known in our community as Grant Groceries was among the first and only to serve South Vallejo with consistent foods such as canned goods, sliced meats, cheese, and occasional fresh produce. Since closing in the 1980s, there has yet to be a store to replace what it offered the people of South Vallejo. SVG Grocery Co-op seeks to honor the legacy of Grant Groceries and address food apartheid in our city by bringing healthy, culturally relevant, convenient, locally sourced, affordable food to our people for the first time in decades.
