The
Rochester Workers' Guild, in partnership with the city council, has announced the grand opening of a groundbreaking initiative - the first Worker-Owned Cooperative Marketplace in Pilegron. Situated in the heart of the bustling
Rochester district, this unique marketplace promises to empower the local workforce by providing them with direct ownership and control over their economic livelihoods.
The marketplace will feature an array of stalls and shops run entirely by residents of
Rochester. Shoppers can expect to find a diverse range of goods and services produced and crafted within the community. This innovative approach aims to foster a sense of collective ownership and shared prosperity, ensuring that the benefits of economic activity directly benefit the individuals who contribute to it.
The launch of the Worker-Owned Cooperative Marketplace reflects the ongoing commitment of
Rochester's residents to building a more equitable and sustainable local economy.
