About Us

Coopers of Stortford is a traditional Home & Garden Store based in the heart of the beautiful, historic market town of Bishop's Stortford. Surrounded by buildings both ancient and modern, the store stands in the same place as it has for generations before and remains to this day very much a part, and centre of, the vibrant, local community.

In store and through our store mail order catalogue, we pride ourselves on being specialists in selling "function led" products. By that we mean products which are designed to make everyday life easier, many of which are of Coopers own invention, idea and/or design. 
Our store is also full of those really practical, traditional items which might have been used by your great grandparents but which are so hard to find on the High Street these days. So much so, that our customers travel from all over the country to visit us, describing the store as an "Aladdin's Cave" with "hidden treasures around every corner".
