COOP is an impressive company in many ways. What started out as a clear-cut business idea that consumers who enter into a cooperative should be able to buy better and cheaper consumer goods, has since transformed and manifested itself as one of the leading food businesses in Denmark.
The story of COOP, which started in 1866 when the firm co-op was established in Thisted, has till date resulted in a tight web of 1,100 stores across the country, more than 39,000 employees, and 1,9 million members.
