Coop Alentour

The Coop Alentour is a consumer cooperative which began in 1979. Its founders were seeking ways to obtain natural products at the best possible prices. To do this they created a cooperative and then rented warehouse space and hired staff. Over the years, they were forced to diversify their activities to be able to benefit from volume discounts. The members then decided to set up a distribution system for the benefit of commercial clients. The Coop Alentour, a natural foods wholesaler, is the only cooperative that offers a distribution service throughout Quebec and parts of Ontario and the Maritime provinces.
