The Clydebank Co-operative Society is a small consumers' co-operative based in the Scottish town of Clydebank. Along with Scotmid, Musselburgh and Fisherrow, Lothian Borders & Angus, and The Co-operative Group, it is one of five co-op retailers in Scotland, and one of two not to have merged into a regional or national co-operative.
Unusually for co-operatives in the United Kingdom, it is not a member of Co-operatives UK. However, in its founding year of 1881, it joined the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society.[1] In the twenty-first century, Clydebank Co-op has buying arrangements with the Co-operative Retail Trading Group (CRTG), a buying group managed by The Co-operative Group, a successor of SCWS, which also manages The Co-operative brand.[2]
