Back in 1973, 10 Rutgers students from the Vegetarian Club founded the George Street Co-Op in an effort to make nutritious foods available to the community and to spread the message of good health through a vegetarian diet. Today, the nonprofit co-op is still running strong, and membership in the organization is open to any and all who are interested. The business is owned and run by its members, who are all volunteers committed to providing a valuable community service at great prices.
