Co-op History
Co-op traces its origins to 1844, when the Rochdale Pioneers opened a co-operative shop in Toad Lane, Rochdale. The store was built around the idea that customers could jointly own a business and buy everyday goods on fair terms.
The co-operative movement grew over the following decades, leading to the development of the Co-operative Group and its grocery business. Today, Co-op Food operates a UK convenience-store network and remains part of the wider member-owned Co-operative Group.
