==History==
Founded in 1873, the Society was known as the Portsea Island Mutual Co-operative Society until 1998, when it became Southern Co-operatives.〔( Our History ) Southern Co-operatives (retrieved 4 September 2009)〕 In 2009, it purchased 13 stores from Nearby Stores, that had gone into administration at the end of 2008. Membership is open to all residents of its trading area, with members receiving a share of the profits in the form of dividend.
In April 2009, plans were released to staff and members that Southern Co-operatives would adopt The Co-operative brand programme. It would re-brand within the next two years as The Southern Co-operative using the same uniforms and fascias as Co-operative Group stores, to "better reflect () status as a completely independent regional society owned, controlled and managed exclusively by local people in the South of England, whilst playing () full part in the exciting co-operative developments taking place nationally." The legal change of name was registered in 2013.
