Annual Dividends. Loyalty Points. Long-Term Rewards.
More Than a Supplier - A Community
What if in addition to Valley being your go-to supplier you could also own a piece of the pie, receive kickbacks from every purchase you make, and join and connect with a community of more than 400 like-minded businesses?
Valley is Proud to be a Cooperative
At the heart of Valley is our cooperative spirit—it’s how we started in 1949 and what keeps us member-owned today.
While anyone can buy, store, or transport products with Valley, being a member unlocks a world of perks and rewards that make every transaction feel like a win and keep more of your hard-earned dollars in your pocket.
As a member, your voice matters. You’ll get a say in how we grow, how we evolve, and how we make things better for everyone.
Here’s a Taste of the Perks That Come with Membership:
Annual Dividends
The more you purchase, the bigger your payout. Our annual dividends grow with your order volume—because why not reward a great partnership?
Long-Term Rewards
Watch your Patronage Certificate Account grow with a variable annual interest rate on your long-term certificates. After 15 years, they mature, and you can redeem them for cash.
Member Loyalty Points
Earn points on select purchases and redeem them for travel, merchandise, and exclusive incentives through our vendor program.
PLUS members always receive the red carpet treatment at our shareholder’s meetings, food shows, social events, and educational programs. Because you’re more than just a member—you’re a VIP (Very Important Partner).
Being a Valley co-op member isn’t just about doing business. It’s about making the most of every opportunity, your business goals, and shaping the future together.

Testimonials: Hear from Our Customers
With Valley as our number one supplier, we know we’re always getting their best price and the best possible value. Plus, the added financial benefits of being member-owners translate into a real cash-flow advantage. To put it simply, Valley helps us be successful.
— Rick S., President, Simple Simon Bakery
One of the cool things about working with Valley is we are member-owners, so it isn’t just a place we get our ingredients, but it is really like a family. We get kickbacks and dividends on everything we purchase so it’s really useful to partner with them.
— Shane G., Owner, Breadsmith of Appleton
My favorite benefit from Valley is the member loyalty points that I earn. I use them to take a family vacation every year on Valley and that’s just a wonderful benefit. Another great benefit is we don’t just get a once-a-week delivery, we’re on a schedule that if we need a delivery five days a week, Valley can provide it. I would suggest Valley to any small business, even just for the sheer benefit of being a member-owner.
— Brenda H., Owner, The Bulk Priced Food Shoppe
