The shop in Ollaberry was threatened with closure in 1993 and local people got together to set up a community co-operative to look at ways of safeguarding its future. In the following years £12,000 was raised locally through the sale of shares and further funding from grants enabled the community to build a new shop – it opened its doors in September 2005 and has become a successful business employing 6 staff.
