Shopping and Markets

Barossa Co-op is Australia’s largest and longest standing retail co-operative. It all started back in 1944 as a general store selling an array of goods and services from a single store in the main street of Nuriootpa. The Barossa Co-op has now evolved into an agglomeration of ten retail businesses deployed in and around an exceptional regional shopping centre.

Not only has the retail offering expanded, but so has our membership. In 1945, there were 771 members and today we have over 23,000!

Thousands of locals actively ensure the economic prosperity of our community through investing in membership and purchasing from our local businesses that in turn, support the local community.
