There's also the funeral care: https://www.coop.co.uk/funeralcare.


Good catch.

My New Year's promise this year was to be more demonstrably accurate than last year and I seem to have screwed it up already.

Bugger.


You can see here what I'm talking about:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-op_Food

Different groups of co-operatives sharing "The Co-Op" brand with different but similar branding.

Co-op Food in Devon vs other parts of the UK will be run by a different group.

I went down a Wikipedia hole on this the other day.


Indeed. Sometimes you’ll have two Co-ops from different groups right next to each other: Shipston-on-Stour has a Midcounties Co-op two doors down from a Co-operative Group Co-op. Both are externally branded Co-op, they sell many of the same Co-op branded products, and they don’t take each other’s loyalty/dividend card.
