Abstract
Article about the cooperative business model in Maine. There are 169 cooperative- and employee-owned businesses in Maine. Black-owned co-ops have long played an important role in American society, and immigrant BIPOC entrepreneurs have also embraced the model. Three businesses are highlighted: Five Pillars Butchery, a Halal butcher shop; Happy Little Paradise Childcare, a childcare business in Lewiston founded by a group of Angolan women; and Les Femmes Unies in Portland, a beauty supply business.The article also discusses Principle 6, Maine's annual gathering of cooperatives.
