160 Years of Co-operation in Desborough

Our Desborough Stores and Funeral home are celebrating 160 years since the founding Desborough Co-operative Society opened in 1863.  Following mergers with neighbouring societies, it is now known as Central Co-op.  To mark this very special occasion, we have produced a booklet and our Gladstone Street is hosting an exhibition this week.  We have also left a memory book so that members and customers can share their memories of this very co-operative town.  Although many changes have taken place over the years, the town is proud of its co-operative routes and Central Co-op is proud to be a big part of the town today.
