Radstock Co-operative Society is a small consumer co-operative, which was established in Radstock, Somerset in 1868.[2]
The society operates a large supermarket in Radstock and twelve convenience shops in nearby areas.[3][4] The supermarket has non-food departments including a travel agent, post office, furniture, clothing, electrical goods, housewares and garden supplies. The society also owns Manor Farm, an organic dairy and egg farm which supplies a substantial part of the national market for organic milk.[5][6] It previously owned a Homemaker Furniture store, and had a turnover of £15 million in 2006.[3] In the late 2000s, it began converting its stores from the 1993 dark blue Co-op cloverleaf branding, to green “The co-operative food” fascias, and acquired stores in Shepton Mallet and Coleford.[4][7]
The society participates in the British co-operative movement. As well as supplying cheese for national distribution by the Co-operative Retail Trading Group (CRTG) through a milk processor, it obtains food goods from the CRTG. It is a corporate member and shareholder of The Co-operative Group, a national business that is successor to the Co-operative Wholesale Society. It is owned and democratically controlled by its customer members, who numbered approximately 7000 in 2014.[1]
