About The Cope
From a small co-operative established in 1906, The Cope has grown into one of West Donegal's best-known local businesses.
Today we operate across grocery, fashion, footwear, sports, homeware, furniture, technology, hardware and building supplies, while remaining firmly rooted in the communities that shaped us.
Our Mission
Our mission places our people, our customers and the long-term success of the Society at the heart of the business.
A progressive, ever-changing, forward-thinking co-operative, diversifying to suit the changing environment, with community at its core.
Company Values
As a community-owned co-operative, we have an economic and social responsibility to the community in which we operate. We are conscious of the impact of our activities on society and the environment and endeavour to operate in a transparent and ethical way that contributes positively to the community.
Co-operation is fundamental to the fabric of our community-owned co-operative, nurturing trust and collaboration among our members. By embracing co-operative principles such as shared ownership, we aim to empower our team to contribute to the collective success and resilience of the community we serve.
Integrity is the cornerstone of our co-operative, anchoring our operations in honesty, transparency and ethical conduct. By consistently demonstrating integrity in our interactions and decisions, we reaffirm our commitment to the collective interests and values of our community stakeholders.
Our Home
Our businesses serve communities throughout the Rosses and wider West Donegal area. A number of our locations operate within or alongside Donegal Gaeltacht communities, where the Irish language and local culture remain an important part of everyday life.
