The story
Gottlieb Duttweiler, principal shareholder, established Migros stock company in 1925. Soon boycotted, he produced his own private labels. Under a governmental store freeze from 1933 to 1944 Migros developed its service company line, Hotelplan (travels) and later, Migrol (petrol), Ex Libris (books/CDs) etc.
1941 was the year when Duttweiler transformed Migros to regional consumer cooperatives, with today over 2 million members; Federation of Migros Cooperatives became their national processing and wholesale buying centre.
