 PROFILE
The Copps Corporation has handed its store keys over to the competition. The company owned and operated more than 20 supermarkets in central and northern Wisconsin, and it distributed food to about 40 independent grocery stores throughout Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Faced with pressures from larger grocery retailers like Wal-Mart and Aldi, the Copps family sold the company to grocery wholesaler and retailer Roundy's in early 2001. Launched in 1892 to serve loggers and rivermen along the Wisconsin River, The Copps Corporation was owned by fourth-generation members of the founding Copps family until it was sold.
