About Us

Welcome to the Coop Store! We are located at the Smith Campus Center (SCC) on the Pomona College campus. The store is owned and operated by the Associated Students of Pomona College and is staffed exclusively by students.

We provide a variety of services for students across the Claremont Colleges, including:

• Gifts and apparel
• A selection of sundries and office supplies
• A wide variety of food and drinks to fuel those late-night study sessions

While the Coop Store is first and foremost a beloved brick-and-mortar establishment, we also offer mail-order services through our website. Simply place an order online, and one of our Coopsters will prepare and ship it to you!

The Coop Store was founded in 1918 by three students: Derwood Baker, Morris B. Pendleton, and Lawrence T. Cooper. Originally called the Associated Students Cooperative Store, it began as a small operation in the basement of Holmes Hall. Over the years, it has grown into a campus staple with a strong and lasting presence.

So whether you’re looking for a sweatshirt, an energy drink, a Clif Bar, or just a friendly Coop Store Clerk to chat with, stop by the Pomona College Coop Store; we’re always happy to see you!
