The Shared Harvest Cooperative Board hired G2G Research to write a Market Study for an evaluation of sites and a sales forecast analysis.
Key Findings:

- The trade area for the proposed food co-op contains a relatively high population base of 178,100 persons (Versus the Co-op database store average of 98,000 persons
- The competitive environment to be faced by the proposed co-op is relatively weak.
