What is a Co-op?

A cooperative is a business. Co-ops range in size from small storefronts to large Fortune 500 companies. In many ways, they’re like any other business; but in several important ways they’re unique and different.

 

Cooperatives around the world generally operate according to the same core principles and values, adopted by the International Cooperative Alliance in 1995. Cooperatives trace the roots of these principles to the first modern cooperative founded in Rochdale, England in 1844.
