FAQ

What is a Cooperative?

A cooperative business, also known as a co-op, is a type of business organisation that is both owned and managed by its members. Members use the services and products of the cooperative; members are on the board. A cooperative is different from other types of organisations because it is formed and operated for the benefit of its members.

What is The Coota District Co-Op For?

The Coota District Co-op is very much like Target. It stocks similar merchandise and employs a retail-experienced manager along with local staff. The Coota District Co-op stocks quality affordable goods. It is overseen by a board of directors. It is your Co-op! The Coota District Co-op is set up with the local community in mind. Our community consists of a wide range of ages, income groups, and special interest groups. The Board wants to ensure that everyone can apply to be a member and that investment options are available to all.
