During this time, we’ll find supporters interested in investing the capital to start co-op product-pickup branches, allowing GPF members to pick up their orders. Members who are already store owners and who agree to adapt their operations to GPF standards would be great for this, as this would give us ready-made storage and marketing facilities. When we acquire enough to occupy a significant portion of heavily populated locales, they’ll be put on standby until we can get the first executive staff members in place, after which the GPF will file papers to become an official co-op entity. The staff could either work from their own locales and conference electronically or future advancement could accord the GPF the choice of providing a physical headquarters.
