Weavers Way

About Weavers Way: "The Co-op" has its roots in a buying club started in 1973 in Philadelphia's West Mt. Airy neighborhood. The 559 Carpenter Lane location was the Co-op's only full-service grocery store until 2010, when Weavers Way Chestnut Hill opened at 8424 Germantown Ave. Weavers Way also has standalone wellness-and-beauty specialty shops in Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill, a pet supply store in Mt. Airy and a 2.5-acre urban farming operation spanning two sites in the Germantown and Roxborough neighborhoods. Revenues for the stores topped $21 million in fiscal 2016. A consumer cooperative, Weavers Way is owned by its 6,300 active member households. Anyone can shop at the "Community-owned, open to all" Weavers Way stores, although members enjoy special deals and discounts and can participate in Co-op governance.
