About the company

Who are we

Your Co-op is a family of businesses operated by The Midcounties Co-operative. We're the largest UK co-operative fully owned by its' members therefore we're owned by you.

How it began

It all began when our co-operative families decided to merge, creating a stronger, more effective society. From here, we were able to share more goods and services for a responsible price, showing other retailers what’s possible.

The People

People have been at the heart of every co-operative since the first one opened its doors in 1844. We’ve moved with the times to always make a progressive difference. And as our business grows, we give back more than ever. Profits and rewards are shared. Decisions are taken democratically between colleagues and members. It’s a kinder, more inclusive way of doing business.

Market-leading success

We’ve been able to expand into more areas of expertise. Our range of Co-op brands covers a host of needs across the home; meaning you won’t need to worry about missing the benefits of your food shop when arranging your childcare, for example. Today, we have over 700,000 members, making us one of the largest co-operatives, but there’s always room for more. Join us today and start sharing the rewards.
