        The timeless success of the cooperative model<\/h2>\n
        \n

        The REWE GROUP was formed in 1927, following the merger of 17 purchasing cooperatives, meaning it has been based on the cooperative model since day one. From the very start, therefore, independent retailers have played a significant role in shaping REWE\u2019s success. Now, as then, our guiding principles remain rooted in this cooperative heritage. Independent retail is a mainstay of our culture.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n
