Westside Co-Op

The Westside Co-op is a grocery store in the Mojave Wasteland $$ It is 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 pool resources and better organize their work towards independence. With help from a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse named Tom Anderson, Westside grew from subsistence farming hamlet 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 their self-reliance.

In recent times, Westside has become embroiled in increasingly tense negotiations with the NCR over the siphoning of their water. A part of this scandal involves the murder of an NCR trooper investigating the water shortage.

Layout
The organization has refurbished an old Uptown Drugs 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 Ettienne. The caps earned from sales are shared between the farmers who grow the food stocked in the store. There is an Average locked safe behind the counter and the player character will incur a Karma loss for picking it.

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