Hastings Co-op The Department Store - Laurieton

About

We are a locally-owned and operated co-operative with a long and proud history in the Hastings Valley of NSW. From humble beginnings as a dairy factory in 1916 we've evolved into a diverse retailer which employs more than 300 people across seven very distinct business units: fuel, supermarkets, bottle shops, department stores, hardware and rural supplies, cafes and condiment manufacturing. We currently have 16 businesses based in Wauchope, Port Macquarie, Laurieton and Comboyne including: three Department Stores, three Hastings Co-op IGA supermarkets, two Supa IGA Plus Liquor stores, one Bottle-O store, two Caltex service stations, a bulk fuel depot, Comboyne Rural Store, Mitre 10 and CRT Wauchope, Stirling Green Cafe and the Bago Bluff condiment range. Our history Now one of the longest serving independent co-ops in Australia, we were originally established by a group of local dairy farmers who saw the benefits of joining forces. Over the past 102 years we've grown from strength to strength, both in size and diversity of our products and services, however, we've never lost sight of the importance of the local community.
