Badger Market

Ownership

Badger Market is operated by the Wisconsin Union, a Madison-based nonprofit organization. It functions as a cooperative/institutional entity rather than an independent owner or corporate chain, though it operates multiple locations.

Local Sourcing

The market partners with local suppliers to offer fresh items and contributes to sustainability of the campus ecosystem. However, specific details about the percentage of local vs. non-local sourcing are limited in available sources.

Community Involvement

Wisconsin Union hosts more than 2,000 events a year with most not limited to students or staff, and Memorial Union offers activities for UW students, faculty, staff, Wisconsin Union Members, and the Madison community. Community participation exists but specifics about Badger Market's direct involvement in non-profit sponsorships are unclear.

Local Workforce

No specific information about wages, turnover, employee ownership, or labor practices for Badger Market staff was found in available sources. The mention of a retiring employee suggests some tenure exists, but broader workforce quality metrics are unavailable.

Revenue Retention

The Wisconsin Union operates Badger Market as a Madison-based nonprofit organization, meaning revenue stays within the local organization rather than leaving the community. However, specific financial reinvestment percentages are not publicly available.
