Comment

Consumption Cooperative Thrift Economy Ostend (Spaarzaamheid Economie Oostende) (SEO for short) is the largest cooperative has ever known in the province of West Flanders, Belgium. The organization provided years of work to hundreds of Ostend citizens.

SEO was founded on October 24, 1892, originally under the name "Cooperative Thrift Society" (Samenwerkende Maatschappij Spaarzaamheid). What began as a small cooperative company founded to purchase coal, grew over the years into a grand association. Their aim was through cooperation and joint efforts to establish a company that would deliver quality goods at the Ostend population at affordable prices.
