What librairie coop edouard does
Coop Édouard-Montpetit (operating as Librairie Coop Édouard and part of the Coopsco network) is a Quebec-based student cooperative founded in 1966 that operates a multi-service campus retail platform serving CEGEP Édouard-Montpetit, the École nationale d'aérotechnique, and affiliated schools. The cooperative runs a main campus bookstore in Longueuil at 945 Chemin Chambly, a satellite branch in St-Hubert, a student café, and a secondary school counter at École secondaire Jacques Rousseau. Its core offerings include new and used textbooks, general books, manga, board games, school supplies, and adapted accessible digital publications, alongside a teacher-facing prescription management system that links course material requirements to student purchases.
The cooperative's technology stack centers on a Coopsco-shared e-commerce storefront (coopmontpetit.com), a custom prescription portal for teachers, and a digital publications platform. Digital content is distributed via ByteBooks DRM authentication (replacing Adobe ID as of June 2026), with reading supported across Adobe Digital Editions, Bluefire Reader, PocketBook Reader, and Kobo e-readers. Audiobooks are delivered as DRM-free MP3 files, and adapted accessible ePub 3 books serve students with perceptual disabilities through features such as adjustable font size, contrast customization, text-to-speech, and interactive navigation. The Coop also holds a Level 2 eco-responsibility certification covering its café and retail operations.
The revenue model combines one-time textbook and school supply sales with a $25 lifetime membership program (including a $7 refundable social share), food and beverage sales from the student café, catering services, and a growing external school supply channel that serves elementary, secondary, and private schools as well as libraries and school boards. In 2024, the Longueuil campus bookstore generated $3,475,000 in revenue (a >14% year-over-year increase), with the ÉNA branch contributing over $270,000, external sales exceeding $700,000, and the café food counter generating over $120,000. Customers are primarily CEGEP students and teachers, with secondary exposure to affiliated institutions and external educational buyers.
