What sets Co-op Atlantic apart from other business success stories is the fact that our roots lie not in one individual, but in a succession of gifted and talented individuals who believed, and continue to believe, that the best way to achieve economic prosperity is to work together as a team.
The success of Co-op Atlantic has rested and continues to rest with our employees and the individual members who make up our member co-ops throughout the Atlantic Provinces and the Magdalen Islands.
Thanks to our members and the visionary individuals who have guided our development, Co-op Atlantic today is a dynamic co-operative wholesaler providing goods and services to over 100 member co-operatives. Our member co-operatives, in turn, are community businesses owned and operated by the people they service. Collectively, these co-ops serve over 226,000 families and employ over 5,000 people.
The success we enjoy today is the result of years of vision, co-operation and determination by many people from all walks of life.
