Company History.

Coars (NE) Ltd.

We moved from it's original premises to a new larger store at Lemming Bar, Northallerton, and also doubled the number of staff by employing three new employees, Jonathan Brown (Van Sales) and Kathryn Lawson (Sales Assistant) from Farmway and David Donaldson (Delivery Driver).

We currently have stores at Garstang, Lancashire, Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire and a Market Shop at Skipton Cattle Market, North Yorkshire.

We can now say that Coars Ltd covers the width of the country, “Coast to Coast”, which we believe is testament to the level of service, quality of products and service we have to offer.

2007

On March 1st 2007 we celebrated 25 years as the areas premier Country Store and on March 1st we shortened our name to Coars and adopted a new logo to promote a fresh outlook for the future. We also moved from our premises on Green Lane West to a new larger, improved store just next door. The move was needed to cope with the expansion of the business into a modern customer friendly Country Store able to contend with the needs of the farmer, upon whom we have built our business, and the demands of the general public.
