Who are OurCoop?

OurCoop is the UK's largest independent co-operative Society, with more than one million Members and 13,000 colleagues operating in communities nationwide. It was formed by bringing together Central Co-op, The Midcounties Co-operative and Chelmsford Star Co-op to create a stronger, member-owned organisation rooted in shared co-operative values.

The Society trades nationally through its family of businesses. Our footprint spans across the South East and West, the Cotswolds, the Midlands, as well as the North and East of England.

When you join our Co-operative, you support us to make a positive impact and together we can really make a difference.

In a nutshell…

Being a co-operative makes us different. We’re Member-owned and Member-led, and invest our profits back into our local communities, through our community dividend fund, local classes, and events.

Whoever we are, whatever we do, every minute of every day we make a difference for our members, our customers and each other.
