our story

Daily Groceries Co-op is proud to have served Athens, Georgia, for over three decades. Over the years, we’ve grown from a small general store to a thriving community owned full service grocery store. Daily Groceries celebrates diversity, shares our interest in healthy food, and invests in our local community. 

We intentionally source excellent food and products,  offer an amazing array of local products and gifts, and celebrate the Athens area and beyond.

Daily Groceries opened its doors in 1992 in response to the closure of Bell’s Grocery Store, a small, centrally-located store that had served the downtown area and provided options for a wide variety of consumer needs. In 1997, Daily Groceries outgrew its original home at 197 Prince Avenue and moved to a larger space at 532 Prince Avenue. On July 5, 2023 we moved to our new and much much larger home at 1190 Prince Avenue - allowing us to offer a full service grocery store that can fulfill all of 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 it accessible to all.
