Co-op’s gift for local economies

By Retail Technology | Monday December 11 2023

Convenience store chain Co-op has joined the innovative Scotland Loves Local Gift Card and Town & City Gift Card ‘shop local’ initiatives

The Scotland Loves Local Gift Card is designed to support local economies by helping to keep spending in communities.

Co-op operates more than 300 stores in communities across Scotland, and its participation in the shop local initiatives enables shoppers to stock up conveniently on everything from everyday essentials to Christmas party food.

The convenience retailer joins a blend of national retailers and local independent businesses who accept the cards, with shoppers simply swiping the card at the till in participating stores.

Kate McCrae Graham, Co-op Operations Director, said: “Co-op stores operate in more than 300 towns, villages and cities across Scotland – working to form part of the fabric of community life, while creating jobs and supporting local suppliers. We are pleased to put our name to the cards that are designed to support local high streets and economies.”
