Innovative uses of the co-op model

From financial services for First Nations to a virtual farmers' market, from a hardware store that became a co-op after its owner closed it down to a processor and distributor of Fair Trade coffee, co-operatives are using the co-op model in a variety of innovative ways.  Here are some examples.
