About Abu Dhabi Coop

Abu Dhabi Cooperative Society, known as Abu Dhabi Coop, is a cooperative retailer founded in 1981. It operates supermarkets and hypermarkets across the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

As a cooperative, it is owned by its members, many of whom are UAE nationals. Shareholders receive a share of profits, and members can benefit from discounts and loyalty programmes. Cooperatives have a long history in the UAE as community-based retailers.

Its stores sell groceries, fresh food, household goods, electronics and general merchandise, and it has invested in shopping centres where its hypermarkets serve as anchor stores.

Cooperatives often focus on affordable prices for essential goods, and they have played a role in national efforts to keep basic food prices stable.

Abu Dhabi Coop has also expanded into online shopping and delivery, responding to changing customer habits.

Other emirates have their own cooperatives, such as Union Coop in Dubai and Sharjah Cooperative Society, which compete with international hypermarket chains.
