Company History
The Cooplands Story started in 1932. Mrs Alice Jenkinson opened the first shop at 33 Hallgate, Doncaster to sell home made cakes and chocolates.
Word of these quality cakes and chocolates rapidly spread, and within 12 months Mrs Jenkinson employed a full time baker to cope with demand and started to expand the range of products.
Over the years the company expanded it's product range and in addition to bakery lines it became reowned for cooked meats, delicatessen lines and in-store butchery units. However with the advent of the modern supermarkets Cooplands had to review what customers wanted. From this new trading environment and during the 1990s Cooplands then rationalised the product range drastically to once again focus on the core bakery business.
