Since the Hyde Park Co-op shut down about two years ago, Chicago has been without a cooperative grocery store, but that all changed yesterday, when the Dill Pickle Food Co-op opened its doors at 3039 W Fullerton Ave in Logan Square.

We haven't made it over to Logan Square to check out the new grocery, but judging from the photos posted on the store's blog, it looks like they did some pretty good business on opening day.

Here's a video of the opening:

According to the website, Dill Pickle membership is $250, which can be paid in $50 installments over five years. 

In terms of inventory, here's what the website says:

"The Dill Pickle carries frozen meats, dairy products, package goods, pre-made meals (both refrigerated and frozen), fresh baked goods, various beverages, and non-food dry goods like personal care products. It also has a large fresh produce and bulk section allowing shoppers to save money and reduce wasteful packaging."

"While the Dill Pickle will strive to carry as many locally produced goods as possible, it is also committed to providing shoppers with a full range of organic and sustainably grown produce and other goods throughout the year."  

We look forward to checking it out in the coming weeks, and when we do, we'll post a full review.
