Jammy Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I was watching some skiing on the tv over the weekend with the competitors wearing bibs with COOP printed on them. I wonder what the COOP stands for, surely not the one we know. This skiing was in Falum, Sweden so probably a question for Canny Lass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedlingtonian Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Could it be the COOP at Falun? https://www.coop.se/195030 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Coop stands for exactly the same thing as it does in England - Cooperative Society. It's an international movement where all stores have basically the same principles and practices: Food at affordable prices, owned by its members, all profits shared by members. It's come a long way from its humble beginnings in the UK to now being established in hundreds of countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks for the replies. I didn't imagine for one minute that it would be a coop that works the same way as ours. The coop trading principal obviously works in many countries. I wiser now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
