History
In 1948, Ted Cotter moved to Los Angeles from Ireland. His brother was a Catholic priest in Los Angeles, and Ted got the idea to open a store selling religious items. His first store was no more than the front room of a rented house in the city of Long Beach. Southern California was expanding rapidly in the 1950's and early 1960's, and Cotters grew with it. Ted's sons Tim, Mike, & Patrick joined the company and began to modernize the expanding operations. In 2010, Cotters grew by purchasing San Joaquin Religious Goods with stores in Fresno & Modesto. In December of 2013, Cotters purchased West Coast Church Supply of South San Francisco to better serve the Bay Area and Northern California. The Cotter family and their dedicated staff is proud to continue to provide quality products and personal service to all churches. We thank our many loyal customers and look forward to serving them in the future.
