You're at Home Here: Discover the Heart of Your Tofino Co-op

For decades, Tofino Co-op has stood as more than just a collection of stores; it's been an integral part of the community's daily life. We strive to be a welcoming hub for our members, neighbors, and friends—a place where everyone truly feels at home. Since our beginnings, rooted in the community spirit of 1956, we've focused on serving you. Your needs, your families, and your connection to this unique place shape everything we do. You aren't just customers witnessing our story; you are the story of Tofino Co-op.

We gratefully acknowledge that the lands on which we are fortunate to work, play, live, and learn are the shared unceded traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations. Our operations respect the deep, ongoing connection of the Tla-o-qui-aht people to this land.


Rooted in Community, Committed to Local

Supporting local is fundamental to the Co-op philosophy. This commitment guides our purchasing decisions, leading us to partner with Canadian vendors and, whenever possible, suppliers right here in Tofino and on Vancouver Island. When you shop with us, you directly contribute to the strength and resilience of our local economy. Your support celebrates the producers, artisans, and entrepreneurs who make our region thrive, keeping essential dollars circulating within the community we all share.
