Co op reports growth and new store plans after relocation
The Co op reports 9 000 weekly shoppers and sales of 2 254 156 dollars up 14 percent from last year. Membership rose from 2 400 to 3 100 owner families and share capital climbed from 155 500 to 218 700 dollars as 1 000 relocated due to Hyde Park clearance. New families and existing residents switching to the Co op offset losses, and a store is being negotiated for a shopping center with aims to be the finest supermarket in the area.
