Here at last: The South Philly Food Co-op is open for business I am ecstatic we are opening after 10 years of hard work and dedication,” said Lori Burge, general manager of South Philly Food Co-op. “Having an incredible community of friends, board members, partners, volunteers and staff who have helped us every step of the way makes opening a grocery co-op during a global pandemic extremely rewarding and showcases the importance of how co-ops benefit neighborhoods.”
