At the Heart
of your Community
At the heart of communities across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, there are many reasons to Love Your Co-op.
The East of England Co-operative Society is the largest independent retailer in East Anglia and has over 200 trading outlets which are located in more than 70 towns and villages including the three regional centres of Norwich, Ipswich and Colchester.
The Society is one of the largest independent Co-operative Societies in the UK with an annual turnover in excess of £350 million, and employs around 4,700 local people. It has an influence that stretches from North Norfolk to East Essex covering 2,000 square miles of East Anglia.
As a co-operative, our business is entirely owned by our Members – over half a million people who live or work locally, enjoy a share of our profits and have a say in our control.
The Society’s diverse business activities include: supermarkets, food stores and post offices, online electrical, travel, pharmacy, optical and funeral branches, petrol forecourts, a Training Academy, and an Events and Conference Centre, as well as our Easier Living Mobility Centres.
