Grand Opening
Schedule of Events
11:30 AM | Parade Preparations
Calling all members and friends of all ages! We’ll be making signs, painting faces, and preparing for our big parade.
1:00 PM | Kick-off Parade
Our Pickle Parade launches from the Logan Square Library at 1pm for a magnificent march (it will last about 15 minutes, because it’s December!). With your helpful voices and other instruments of noise, we’ll be cheering and marching all the way to our wonderful new co-op grocery store!

Once the parade arrives at the store, all members are invited to help cut the the ribbon. Bring your own scissors!

Want to taste something from the Co-op’s opening grocery stock? We’ll have different vendors at the store to sample products throughout the day.

After the store doors close, join us for an after-party at 9pm at WeeGee’s, a bar located at 3659 West Armitage Ave.
Chicago’s Grocery Co-op
Grocery co-ops are found in cities and towns all over America, from New York City to Minneapolis, MN to Champaign, IL. And now thanks to a collective effort of neighbors and friends, the Logan Square community has put Chicago on that list. With convenient hours for both daily essentials and specialties, the Dill Pickle Food Co-op is a full-service grocery store for fresh, local, and organic food. It offers one of the largest bulk grocery sections in the city.
Logan Square
Located at 3039 W. Fullerton, the Dill Pickle is easily accessible via the 74-Fullerton bus or the California Blue line train station. The Co-op also supports cyclists with two bike racks in front of the store. The Logan Square Library is directly across Fullerton Ave-inviting you to pick a recipe from a cookbook and walk across the street for ingredients.
Community-owned
Dill Pickle Food Co-op is owned and governed by a community of food lovers. As a consumer-cooperative, the Dill Pickle is democratically controlled by the members who shop there. Anyone can become a member, and the store is open for shopping to members and non-members alike. The Co-op’s commitment to fresh, local, and organic food is met with affordability in mind. New customers will find the Co-op to be an informed grocer that connects with local food producers. From farms to kitchens, healthy food practices will be supported.
