Copps Food Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Copps started in business in 1892, when E. M. Copps began selling food and grain to loggers, river men and farmers. The company incorporated in 1912, and built a 50,000 square foot warehouse to meet growing demands. In 1944, Copps joined the Independent Grocer's Alliance (IGA) and, two years later, directly entered food retailing with its first store in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. In 2001, Roundy's acquired the Copps Corporation, based in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The Warehouse and Transportation departments at this center consist of a total warehouse capacity of 460,000 square-feet, including an 110,000 square-foot perishable warehouse.
