our story

Daily Groceries Co-op has been proud to serve Athens, Georgia, for more than three decades. Over the years, we’ve grown from a small grocery with a community ethos to a thriving community-owned full-service grocery store. Daily Groceries celebrates diversity, shares our passion for healthy food, and invests in our local community. 

We intentionally source healthy, high-quality food and products, offer a diverse array of local produce and gifts, and celebrate the Athens area and beyond.

Daily Groceries opened its doors in 1992 after Bell’s Grocery Store closed its downtown location. As a small, centrally located store, Daily Groceries served the downtown area, offering a range of groceries, produce, and bulk foods. In 1997, Daily Groceries outgrew its original home at 197 Prince Avenue and moved to a larger space at 532 Prince Avenue.

More than 25 years later, we recognized that meeting the needs of our community required more space and expanded offerings. On July 5, 2023, we relocated to our new and much larger location at 1190 Prince Avenue, allowing us to offer a full-service grocery store that fulfills all your grocery needs.

We look forward to more exciting growth and increased community ownership and involvement in the years to come. You—our customers and our community—are building the foundation for a bright future of locally sourced, locally produced food that’s accessible to all.
