Coop members generally approve of the way the board and coordinators run the organization and a majority never attend the general meetings, but love to discuss policy.

 Migros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It opened its first foreign supermarket in the frontier region of France, at Thoiry, in 1993, and its first recreation park, Säntispark, at Abtwil in St.-Gallen, in 1986.
The supermarkets are categorized in the three size classes of M, MM and MMM, similar to Migros Türk in Turkey (sold to a Turkish group in 1975).
However, it is expected that especially Aldi will become one of the major competitors of both Migros and Coop, as it managed to set established supermarket chains in other countries under heavy pressure through an aggressive discount strategy.

 ITALY
Coop (which is the largest supermarket chain in Italy) extended the organic line (at first "Coop naturali e biologici", now "Coop Agricoltura Biologica") to other outlets in northern Italy, followed by their major competitors.
However, as the most relevant range in supermarkets consists of no more than 300 items, the importance of specialized organic outlets (with a mix of 1 000 to 2 500 items) is confirmed, although they have lost their channel primacy.
Currently, supermarkets do not buy their fruits and vegetables directly from the producer, but refer to specialized wholesalers or consortia of growers: both are good targets of non-EC companies who want to enter the Italian market.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Inboxer Rebellion (Seeing the Fjords)
Coop Norge, part of a Scandinavian wide chain of food stores, is the first foreign company to impose a boycott on Israel during the current conflict, a threat rarely used since the Arab secondary boycott was lifted following the signing of the 1993 Oslo Accords.
"Coop Norge's directors are upset over the way the Israelis are acting in the conflict," managing director Bernt Aas told a Norwegian daily, according to Bloomberg L.P. The chain hoped its Swedish and Danish sister organizations would also impose sanctions.
Together with Coop Sweden and Coop Denmark (Coop Nordic) it has been decided not to boycott Israel, but follow national and international standings in regard to the question of Israeli boycott.

 Food & Faces - June 2002
Although supermarket shelves are stocked with a greater variety of food sold at lower prices than at anytime in history, this food is really not a bargain at all - its price does not include the hidden costs of degradation to the land, the unfair and unsustainable returns to farmers, and unfair wages for farmworkers.

In response to the allegations about the Tvind clothing racket, retail supermarket chain Coop Danmark A/S (formerly known as FDB), which encompasses the SuperBrugsen, Kvickly, Irma, Fakta, and OBS chains, elected to remove all UFF clothing containers from its store parking lots.
According to Coop Danmark, the administrative decision was taken after Tvind officials, in Coop Danmark's view, failed to respond openly to the charges levelled against the charity organisation regarding proceeds of its used clothing sales.
The 150 UFF containers due for removal from Coop Danmark-owned parking lots are set to be replaced with clothing containers for the Red Cross.
