Established in 1992 Our current Store Owner began as a Retail Clerk just after the inception of our East Peoria location during the music store days in 1992. He discovered his passion for small business operations while tirelessly dedicating himself fully to excellent products and customer connections and eventually purchased the shop. His years of fierce work ethic and loyalty to the community serve as a guidepost to current staff for how business should be conducted and how people should be treated. Since then, he has opened an additional Co-Op Shop location in 2016 with those same beliefs. While the products have changed, that caring approach to customer service remains the same. ...You can always count on The Co-Op Shop being a Cooperative of Cultural Coolness for the Heartland... bringing the best selection of Alternative Wellness needs, Smoking and Vaping Supplies, and Incense. with a caring and attentive staff to help you make your selection. And of course, there is so much more!
