Riverina Co Op

About

The Riverina Co-operative is one of Wagga Wagga’s success stories. From its humble beginnings in 1961 from a single rented room, the Co-operative today is a thriving business that boasts an annual turnover of more than $13m and employs a full time staff of 26. The Co-operative was set up to meet the needs of the rural community and to provide a range of goods at competitive prices. Those goals are still part of the Co-operative’s agenda 50 years later. To meet those requirements the range of products sold has been greatly expanded with the business also offering advisory services to ensure clients achieve maximum efficiency from their farms. Twenty years ago the decision was also made to provide goods and services for all Wagga Wagga and district residents which involved expanding their clothing range, liquor department, hardware and animal health division. The Riverina Co-operative is owned by its 10,000 members who not only benefit through the competitive prices charged but also receive a discount at the point of sale.
