Radstock Co-operative Society is a small consumer co-operative, which was established in Radstock, Somerset in 1868. The society operates a large supermarket in Radstock and twelve convenience shops in nearby areas.〔('New Radstock chief gears up for Tesco fight' ), ''The Co-operative News'', 24 August 2007.〕 The supermarket has non-food departments including a travel agent, post office, furniture, clothing, electrical goods, housewares and garden supplies. The society also owns Manor Farm, an organic dairy and egg farm which supplies a substantial part of the national market for organic milk. It previously owned a Homemaker Furniture store, and had a turnover of £15 million in 2006.〔 In the late 2000s, it began converting its stores from the 1993 dark blue Co-op cloverleaf branding, to green “The co-operative food” fascias, and acquired stores in Shepton Mallet and Coleford.〔 The society participates in the British co-operative movement. As well as supplying cheese for national distribution by the Co-operative Retail Trading Group (CRTG) through a milk processor, it obtains food goods from the CRTG. It is a corporate member and shareholder of The Co-operative Group, a national business that is successor to the Co-operative Wholesale Society. It is owned and democratically controlled by its customer members, who numbered approximately 7000 in 2014. ==Locations== * Peasedown St John, 1908 * Timsbury, North Somerset, 1916 * Chilcompton, Somerset, 1919 * Chew Magna, North Somerset, 1924 * Westfield (Elm Tree Avenue), 1940s * Radstock superstore, 1959〔 * Shepton Mallet, Somerset, 2008 * Glastonbury, Somerset, 2009〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Annual Report 2009/10 )〕 * Coleford, Somerset, 2009 (formerly Crossway Stores) * Street, Somerset, 2010〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Annual Report 2010/11 )〕 * Frome, Somerset, 2011〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Annual Report 2011/12 )〕 * Westfield (Fosseway), 2012〔 * Farrington Gurney, 2013 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radstock Co-operative Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
