The Detroit People’s Food Co-op (DPFC) is an African American led, member-owned grocery cooperative, which will be located in the historic North End at 8324 Woodward Avenue.
DPFC will be a full-service grocery store, offering a wide variety of products including locally grown produce, groceries, baked goods, meats, fish, dairy, frozen foods, health and beauty items, beer, and wine.
