When this Store first opened in 1898 it probably only carried about 50 products. Products like flour, potatoes, dried fruits and sugar were bought in bulk so as to get the best price. Other products like eggs and butter were bought locally as often as transport would allow.
Today we stock over 5,000 lines from all over the world and we buy through The Co-operative Wholesale Services (CWS) as well as some local suppliers. All our products are quality assured and approved by CWS. The Co-operative is dedicated to supply wholesome healthy foods at reasonably prices and to trade as ethically as possible in today’s market.
