About Our Co-operative
Firestorm Books & Coffee is a seven-year old worker co-operative with roots in Asheville's activist and anarchist communities. We operate without a boss or general manager and work together as a collective, making decisions using formal consensus process. Our business operates with a goal of generating value for its workers and its community rather than accruing profit.
Prospective membership is available to individuals who believe that they might be interested in owning a share of our co-operative. Over the course of six to nine months, a prospective member will have the opportunity to become intimately familiar with our collective, and vice versa. At the end of this period the prospective member may be invited to continue their work as an owner in a salaried position.
