ABOUT US

Allendale Co-operative Society was formed in 1874, and like all Co-ops is owned by its members, most of whom live in the Allen Valleys, in Northumberland. Although a member of the wider Co-operative Movement, Allendale Co-op is not a part of the nationwide Co-operative Group. It is owned and run by local people for local people.
