Jednota
Jednota is a term used to describe a network of consumer cooperatives in the Czech Republic, which have a long history dating back to the 19th century. These cooperatives, often operating under the COOP brand, were established to provide essential goods and services, particularly in rural areas. Over time, they became a key part of the socialist economy. Today, Jednota continues to operate, adapting to modern retail trends while maintaining its cooperative roots, making it the largest food retail network in the country.
