They're still a publicly-traded company and are thus beholden to their shareholders, but they seem to have done ok in spite of that. I'm certain it's only a matter of time though - eventually new leadership will come in who will only care about maximizing profits.

The day the $1.50 hotdog dies is the day my membership ends. Muffins already went up $3 in the last two years.

Well, at least while the founder is alive, he'll kill to keep you a member.

Maybe the least capitalist large one, not that that's saying much.

The real least capitalist company would surely be one of those single-location hippie grocery co-ops or something like that.

The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland

Just one that I know of (mentioned in my other comment).

Sprouts I think?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Nah, Sprouts is just a normal corporate grocery store that tries to have a granola image.

The example I had in mind was Sevananda. (Its website is too polished to be the nationwide winner, though -- especially since it's touting a promotional thing they apparently had with Steve Harvey a year ago and that's way too "establishment.")

Surely employee owned companies like Bob’s Red Mill fit the bill better?

Okay, fair, Bob's Red Mill is a very special exception
