Court Halts Co-op Board Takeover | Grand Rapids News

A Kalamazoo County judge has halted a newly elected co-op board from taking control of the People’s Food Co-op, keeping the original board in charge pending a Friday hearing. The dispute erupted after members accused the old board of ignoring rules and blocking access to documents, prompting a recall vote and even a physical altercation at the store. While the ousted board insists they’re still in control and working toward a resolution, both sides acknowledge the turmoil is harming staff, farmers, and the community — all while staying true to their mission of serving healthy, local food.
