Full list of Teesside Cooplands shops still open after closing

The Cooplands bakery chain remains a staple on Teesside for its pastries and sausage rolls – but what shops are still open?

Cooplands, who came from humble beginnings in Scarborough in 1885, have dominated our county’s pastry scene for years, alongside high-profile rival Greggs. With downtown sites and quaint villages, it’s always a strong bet to say you’re never far from one of his shops on Teesside.

However, in recent months, it has come to light that a number of bakeries in our area have closed their windows for the last time, leaving cake lovers heartbroken. Great Ayton, Berwick Hills and Skelton have all recently lost their branches – with the Acklam Road and Linthorpe Road stores also no longer appearing on the company’s website.

Cooplands recently confirmed that, following an “in-depth review” of the business, the company is making some changes to its operations. It says this is to ensure that the store and wider business are “fully aligned” with the company’s “modern bakery ready-to-eat food retailer” strategy.

Shop closure

In June it was confirmed that the Berwick Hills and Skelton sites were both closed after their second branch disappeared from the company’s website. This news follows reports that the Darlington Cooplands store, on Woodland Road, is also closing.

Teesside Live later reported earlier this week that the Great Ayton site had been shut down, with a notice in the storefront stating the closure was permanent. There have also been reports that Cooplands has closed its Linthorpe village location, and now the Acklam Road and Linthorpe Road bakeries no longer appear on the company’s website.

That said, Cooplands recently opened a new store on Yarm High Street, moving next door to the former Natwest Bank with a sleek new look and a smart gray front. The full number of stores closed this year has so far not been revealed.

Last week, a Cooplands spokesperson said: “After an in-depth review of the business, we made several changes to our retail and bakery operations, to help better position the business for long-term and sustainable growth. This is done to ensure that our storefront and wider business are fully aligned with our ‘modern bakery ready-to-eat food retailer’ strategy.”
