Margaret "Maggie" Cooke (née Preston, previously Clegg) was Betty Turpin's younger sister and the owner of the Corner Shop in Coronation Street from 1968 to 1976. Maggie arrived in the Street in 1968 with her husband Les Clegg and their adopted son Gordon. The move was designed as a fresh start for the family as Les was battling alcoholism, but after a few weeks of sobriety he drank and became abusive, and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Maggie divorced Les and ran the shop herself, with the occasional help of Betty, who moved back to the area in 1969, and Irma Barlow, who owned a share of the shop from 1970 to 1972.

In 1974, Maggie married Ron Cooke and moved to Zaire, leaving the shop in Gordon's hands. She returned briefly in 1975 when Gordon learned the truth about his parentage; that Betty was his real mother and not Maggie. She has not visited the Street since.
