History
Ted Cotter moved to Los Angeles from Ireland. His brother was a Catholic priest and Ted got the idea to open a store selling religious items. His first shop 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, growing their Long Beach base and opening their Los Angeles location. Ted's sons Tim, Mike, & Patrick joined the company and began to modernize the expanding operations. In 2010, Cotter purchased San Joaquin Religious Goods in Fresno & Modesto. in 2015 Cotters opened their 5th store in S. San Francisco. The Cotter family and their dedicated staff is proud to continue to provide quality products and personal service to the churches throughout the Western states. We offer everything from candles and communion gifts to church furniture and service items. We thank our many loyal customers and look forward to serving them in the future.
