Welcome
to Austin'smember-owned grocery store.Please join
us in doing business the revolutionary cooperative
way.
The
purpose of Wheatsville is to create a self-reliant,
self-empowering community of people that will grow and
promote a transformation of society toward cooperation,
justice, and nonexploitation.
Wheatsville's mission is to serve a broad range of
people by providing them goods and services and by using
efficient methods which avoid exploitation of the
producer and the environment.
The focus of this mission is to
supply high-quality food and nondoctrinaire information
about food to the people in Austin, Texas.

Members! You
can now sign up for the Wheatsville Great Rate VISA®
card offered through the University
Federal Credit Union.
Every time you use your UFCU Wheatsville VISA® card,
whether it's at Wheatsville or any other store, a portion of
the fees normally charged to the retailer will go back to
your friendly neighborhood grocery co-op. The more you use
your VISA® card, the more you contribute back to the
growth of Wheatsville.
It's
also pretty cool that this VISA® card is brought to you
as a joint effort of two local cooperatives, Wheatsville and
University Federal Credit Union.
