Co-op supermarket
In the United Kingdom, most "Co-op" supermarkets (and convenience stores) are owned by the local Co-operative society; for example, in the South West of England, the Plymouth and South West Co-operative Society owns a majority of the Co-op branded supermarkets.
The nationwide Co-operative Group (formerly the Co-operative Wholesale Society), also owns many of its own supermarkets, as well as supplying goods wholesale to the majority of British co-operative societies.
As with all other co-operative businesses, customers of the Co-op supermarkets can become members of the co-operative society that owns the supermarket, which enables them to have some say in the operation of the business.
