TPSS Co-op is a natural foods grocery store operating in the interest of its community.  We are a cooperative business owned by our friends and neighborhood residents.  The first TPSS Co-op started as a vegetarian storefront on Sligo Avenue in Takoma Park in 1981.  In February 1998, we moved to the Ethan Allen Avenue store, where you will find us today.  Our second store opened in October 2001 on Grubb Road in Silver Spring.

TPSS is a member of the National Cooperative Grocers Associations, which includes more than 100 co-ops around the country that work together to optimize resources, strengthen purchasing power, and offer more value to owners.

We make every effort to carry products from local vendors and products that are wholesome, ecologically friendly, and socially responsible and to offer those products at the lowest prices possible.
