Biocoop is the leading network of organic shops in France. The 'Biocoop' network is not a chain or a franchise but a federation of over 300 independent shops, and also consumer and producer co-operatives with shared ideals, objectives and structures. They have discovered that the best way to get organic consumers a good deal and compete with supermarkets is to work together. By co-operating they are able to offer many of the advantages of centralised distribution while reducing its damaging side effects.
