Urban Greens Co-op Market

I want to love this place but it's so wildly disorganized that I don't know how it runs. They frequently have limited stock. I don't think I've had a single produce shopping experience where the wrong code wasn't keyed in. I've been trying to cancel my membership and get a refund in advance of moving for over a month and I have spoken to the manager twice as well as at least 5 other staff members. It's like that spiderman meme where they're all pointing at one another; it's been a total runaround. At every other coop I've been a part of, they just issue you a cash refund when you close out your membership when you move. This store is very convenient for essentials when you need something on the way home, but do not get a membership. It is not worth the expense or the hassle.

I LOVE this co-op so much! It's small, but it has almost everything I need. They have a FREE composting program, which I love since I'm not permitted to compost at my apartment. The people who work there are so friendly and kind, and it is honestly more affordable than any of the big chain groceries I used to shop at before I became a member. If you're low income you can get an FFA membership which has truly been a lifesaver/game changer for me. They have lots of plant-based and vegan options, as well as local meats and seafood. Makes it really easy and affordable to shop local! Their bulk section is also the best in Providence, as far as I know. Lots of nuts and grain options, and they also have a bulk section for spices and loose teas. I love and appreciate this co-op so much, thank you urban greens!

Their selection has expanded beyond belief since they opened - to a really wide range of items. We’re members and their 5% off (twice a month) member benefit really helps our family shop here for weekly groceries. Plus UG stands by and uplifts the local community by fundraising for area nonprofits and causes. They really try to encompass what it means to be a co-op and serve the community through food and other means.

Fresh local goods all in one place. The memberships are also at really affordable prices and can be paid over the course of many years so anyone can afford it. Being a member also means a 10% discount on all items so it’s worth the investment for fresh foods, local businesses and supporting the sustainable market
