Talking Shop with Weaver Street Markets

We're talking ~shop~ (grocery shopping that is) with Weaver Street Market's merchandising manager James Watts! The market was founded in 1988 (Watts has been there since 1992) as a pioneer for modern grocery store co-ops that allowed duality of ownership between shoppers and workers. We speak to Watts about how Weaver Street Market creates an empowering workplace and engages consumers with interesting products.
