Glut is a not-for-profit charitable trust. It is a nonstock corporation, so there is no owner. The prices at Glut are calculated to cover the cost of food plus operating expenses. Any surplus must be rechanneled into Glut.

Worker Managed Cooperative

Glut is democratically managed by staff members (the collective) who share equal responsibility for the store. You might say there is no manager or better yet - every collective member is a manager. Policy is arrived at by consensus, at open weekly staff meetings that are held on Mondays at 8:15. Meetings are closed when discussing personnel issues (i.e. hiring and firing)

Vegetarian Natural Foods

Glut tries to provide quality nutritious foods at a reasonable price. We try to avoid overprocessed chemically tainted foods. We support local and/or organic enterprises over conglomerates and agribusiness whenever possible

Progressive

Glut has traditionally supported peace, environmental and social justice movements. This is rooted in our founding by conscientious objectors during the Viet Nam war.
