Local Pub Grows Unique Community Ownership Program

CHICO, Calif. - EntSun -- The Allies Pub Introduces the Anchor Membership Program

Chico, CA — July 9, 2025

After successfully transitioning to a community-benefit nonprofit corporation earlier this year, The Allies Pub is inviting the public to learn about its next phase of community support—welcoming Anchor Members to help carry the legacy forward.

A public informational event will be held at The Allies Pub (426 Broadway, Suite 130, Chico) on Tuesday, July 15 at 5:00 PM, where current members and pub leadership will share how the model works, the impact it's already had, and how interested community members can get involved.

"As a small family-run business navigating the post-COVID hospitality landscape, we knew we needed to try something bold," said Emma Martin, Marketing & Event Planning Lead. "In the UK, community-owned pubs have been thriving—so we brought that idea to Chico. Thanks to our incredible Founding Members, we're still here, and ready to welcome the next generation of supporters."
