        align=\"left\"\u003EPart of what separates consumer Co-ops from other businesses
        is that Co-ops return their profits to owners in proportion to how much they
        patronize the business. Most co-operatives throughout the world (including
        REI, Organic Valley, and most natural foods co-ops) do this through a system
        called Patronage Dividends. Since 1988, the Lexington Co-operative Market
        has returned profits to our owners before we made them, in the form of discounts
        at the registers. Patronage dividends provide the co-op with the opportunity
        to offer a greater number of services to owners, our community and our future.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3

        align=\"left\"\u003EThe Co-op provides its owners with a great grocery store.
        Every owner purchase is recorded at the registers. When the Co-op is profitable,
        the Board and management review plans and obligations, and decide on how much
        of the profit to reinvest in the Co-op. The money that is not needed to reinvest
        in the business is returned to the owners in the form of store credit or (if
        requested) a check. Each owner\u2019s patronage dividend is based on the amount
        of their purchases over the fiscal year (July 1- June 30.)\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp

        Few if any owners of the Co-op express excitement at receiving their 2% discount.
        At Co-ops that use Patronage Dividends, owners express excitement when they
        get their dividend notice and see how they have helped to contribute to the
        success of the business they own.\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E\n\u003Cstrong\u003ESustainable\u003C/strong\u003E:
        Discounts distribute profits to owners before we make them. The Co-op has
        been profitable in just 5 of the 20 years since the Co-op has been giving
        a basic member discount at the register. Dividends allow the Co-op to be profitable
        and to reinvest those profits into services that meet owner\u2019s needs and
        impact the world on their behalf.\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003Cli\u003E\n\u003Cstrong\u003EFlexible\u003C/strong\u003E.
        The discount level does not change based on the performance of the Co-op or
        the changing needs of the owners. With dividends, every year the board decides
        whether to return profits to owners or to reinvest them in improving services.
        \u003Cbr\u003E Dividends give the Co-op a tax advantage. \u003Cbr\u003E The
        Co-op does not pay tax on the income that we declare as dividends. The Co-op
        is required to distribute 20% of declared dividends to owners \u2013 roughly
        the same amount that it would pay in corporate taxes. Therefore, it benefits
        both the Co-op and owners when owners use their patronage dividend.\u003C/li\u003E\r\n\u003C/ul\u003E\u003Ch3

        the register foster feelings of entitlement (as an owner, I deserve to pay
