Supermarket

Bandeau-jaune

BEES coop. ( ‘Brussels Ecological, Economical Supermarket) is the first participative supermarket in Brussels. The aim is simple : to build a consumer-based co-operative offering quality products at affordable prices, in a way that is respectful of both producers and the environment. The goal is to create an alternative to the current mass-distribution model, through members’ active participation in the day-to-day running of the store.

The BEES coop project aims to be a friendly haven, open to all, meeting the varying needs and food choices of its members, via :

  • The cooperative supermarket model
  • Being a place which promotes sustainable food products and processing
  • Providing a multi-purpose space open to all its members
