Background Information
The origin of Co-op dates back to the late nineteenth century, a time when factory workers rebelled against unfair wages, high prices, and poor food quality. They joined forces and established cooperative shops where members could buy high-quality groceries at fair prices. These initiatives spread and led to the rise of regional cooperatives.

Over the years, local cooperatives formed stronger bonds to stand against the emergence of large retail corporations. During this time of change, they aimed for unity, which eventually resulted in the founding of Coop Nederland. Despite their efforts, the cooperation came too late, and in 1973, Coop Nederland lost the battle, with its stores and production facilities transferring to the competition.
