On May 1st, the Detroit People's Food Co-op (DPFC) opened the doors of its store to the Detroit community. Totaling more than 30,000 square feet, the building that houses the supermarket, known as the Detroit Food Commons, fulfills needs beyond food services. Upstairs, there are offices for the DBCSFN, a banquet hall available for community events and four commercial kitchens for rent for food business owners in need of prep space. Though the supermarket is open, the official celebration of the opening will be held at 11 a.m. on May 18.

Member-owner Malik Yakini served as keynote speaker for the Cooperative Development Track's Youth Symposium at NCBA CLUSA's IMPACT conference in 2023.
