What is Fukui Co-operative Society
(Fukui Kenmin Seikatsu Kyōdō-Kumiai)?
Fukui Co-operative Society started out in 1977 as a local retail cooperative society to supply goods purchased on a bulk-order basis all over Fukui Prefecture. Its aim is to improve people’s lives by meeting the collective needs of its members and consolidating their purchasing power.
