Cooper's is a bakery chain in Bangladesh. It was founded in 1984 by Douglas Cooper, a Dhaka-based British immigrant and World War II veteran, and his wife Sufia Cooper,[1] who managed the business in the 1990s and 2000s.[2] It introduced the modern pastry shop concept to Bangladesh.[1]
What started out as just one small outlet in Kolabagan and a factory now operates total 52 outlets in Dhaka and Chittagong and is a popular household name in upmarket urban areas.[1] It has a factory on the outskirts of Dhaka in Ashulia. The company is managed by brothers John Cooper and Simon Cooper, the children of Douglas and Sufia Cooper.[2][3][4]
