Westside Co-Op

The Westside Co-op is a grocery store in the Mojave Wasteland, located inside Westside and run by an organization of the same name, managed by Clayton Ettienne and Tom Anderson.

Background
Ettienne and the Westside locals established up the Westside Co-op to to pool resources and better organize their work. With help from a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse named Tom Anderson, Westside grew from subsistence farming hamlet up to a stable, self-sufficient farming community independent from the NCR. The farmers grow enough crops to feed themselves, and to export to outside parties, thus ensuring they don't have to rely on merchants for food.

The organization has refurbished an old commercial building to house the heart of their farming operation. Complete with basic refrigeration, the local grocery store makes a profit from the sale of surplus fresh produce on the premises, which is managed by Ettiene. The caps earned from sales are shared between the farmers who grow the food stocked in the store.

More recently, Westside has gotten involved in tense negotiations with the NCR over the siphoning of their water. One part of this scandal involved the murder of an NCR trooper investigating into the water shortage.

Layout
The Co-op is a small store that stocks food and cooking supplies, though the shopkeeper only sells foods and aid. There is a locked safe behind the counter that (requires a Lockpick skill of 50 to open) and a Karma loss for picking it.

Appearances
Westside Co-op appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
