Agway made it's appearance in Beaver County in 1987 when Chet and Sherry Whelpley purchased the business and property on Sharon Rd., known at the time as Farm Bureau/True Value Hardware.
The Whelpley's two sons,Chad and Curt, were just 10 and 7 years old at the time. Chet grew up on a dairy farm in central PA, got his Ag Business Management degree from Penn State in 1973 and began his career in agriculture related retail.
He managed retail farm stores in Morgantown, WV; Middletown, MD; Punxsutawney, PA; and Indiana,PA; then, served as an Area Manager for Agway until the purchase of the Beaver store.
It became quite clear early on that the store the Whelpley's purchased in '87 was best known by the general public as The "Co-Op" .
The "Co-Op" was formed in 1922 and served customers for over 60 years. It has been an honor to continue the tradition of knowledgeable, friendly customer service to the people of Beaver County.
Since 1990, the Whelpley's have continued service to New Castle, Butler, Eighty Four, and Imperial, where Agway stores were already established and, in 2013, opened an entirely new store in Ohio Township, Sewickley, known as Mt. Nebo Agway.
