Central England Co-operative operates as a retail co-operative in the United Kingdom, running supermarkets, florists, and funeral services. It is owned by its members—the colleagues who work there and the hundreds of thousands of shoppers who participate as members. Headquartered in Lichfield, England, the organization emphasizes a purpose beyond profit, aiming to create a sustainable society for all within the retail sector. It operates a sizeable footprint with more than 200 food stores across the UK, serving a broad customer base through its member-owned model. A notable recent development is the acquisition of Chelmsford Star Co-operative Society in September 2025, reflecting ongoing expansion within the UK co-operative retail sector.
