Cooplands

Cooplands
A former Ainsleys (now a Cooplands) in Boston Spa, West Yorkshire.

Coopland & Son (Scarborough) Ltd. is a family-run bakery chain which has stores across North, West and East Yorkshire, offering sandwiches, bread loaves, desserts and cakes. Despite having the same trading name and a similar product range as Cooplands (Doncaster) Ltd., the two companies operate individually from each other. Cooplands (Doncaster) has stores across South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and parts of Lincolnshire. The differences between the two companies can be seen in their logo designs and shop fronts - The Scarborough company has a cream background with circular brown text, whilst the Doncaster company now has a red and orange corporate logo on its stores.

Cooplands (Scarborough) has a notable share[citation needed] of the lunch-time market in large cities such as York and Hull. They compete directly with larger national and international chains/franchises such as Greggs and Subway.

The first Cooplands was founded in the North Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough in 1885.

In 1999 Cooplands opened 10 new stores, thus expanding production at its Scarborough-based bakery by about 75% leading to the creation of 80 new jobs.[citation needed]

In June 2007 a further expansion was announced with the company purchasing the Hull-based Skeltons bakery firm that had gone into administration. The purchase increased the number of stores by 34 and also included two cafés and a bakery.[1] As of April 2011, a further eighteen shops and some 280 staff were added to Cooplands' repertoire, following Woodhead, a rival Scarborough-based bakery chain, falling into administration, and a large portion of their shops being purchased by Cooplands.[2]

Sandwiches

Cooplands offers a wide variety of sandwiches, all of which are made on the premises daily or as ordered by a customer. They offer many varieties of fillings such as egg mayonnaise, cheese or a variety of meats. They also have a varied choice of breads & Pastries including many seasonal products (For example Turkey & Cranberry bakes at Christmas)
