Here’s What’s Happening
- The Opportunity: Transition Tom’s to a community-owned cooperative grocery store, ensuring it stays in local hands and serves Yellow Springs for decades to come.
- Tom’s is financially healthy, but owner Jeff Gray is ready to pursue new interests and wants to sell the business to someone who will keep it local and sustainable.
- The Yellow Springs Community Foundation and Hall Hunger Initiative are leading this effort with community input.
