Scotmid: A Co-operative with Multiple Businesses
The “Scottish Midland Co-operative Society” is Scotland’s largest independent co-operative, commonly known by its shortened name, Scotmid.
The co-operative is owned by its 250,000 members, who aim to improve their communities through Scotmid. It runs more than five different businesses, including a handful of perfume stores, beauty shops, food stores, and convenience stores located across Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland. Other co-operative-run businesses include post offices, funeral directors, and even property agents.
They operate more than 300 retail outlets in total, which are run to improve local communities by involving members in their retailing activities.
The main retail arm sells food products, emphasising local produce. Customers can buy fresh and frozen foods, bakery items, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, dairy, meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, dry goods, and household items.
Scotmid opening times vary based on the business type and location. Some stores follow traditional weekday hours and close on weekends, while others, like convenience stores, often have extended hours and open on weekends. The “Morning, Noon and Night” stores generally have longer hours than other Scotmid locations.

Their branding may be recognised through white, blue, and green colours. Their logo is a simple design consisting of their name written in blue and green on a white background.
Scotmid may be well-known by its members. However, other people are not associated with the co-operative, and some of their members may not be aware of specific facts about the organisation. These facts include:
- Scotmid was formed as part of a merger in 1981.
- They employ over 5,000 staff members.
- They are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
- Based in Edinburgh, they have expanded their operations over the years.
- They aim to invest profits back into their employees and community development.
As mentioned, Scotmid is a co-operative that handles multiple businesses for the benefit of its members. They aim to invest profits back into their employees and business development and support the local communities. Their business can be broken down into over five different companies.
They run a chain of convenience stores in Scotland operating under their name. There are more than 180 of these stores across Scotland. These stores stock household necessities and food. Another one of their businesses is Semichem. This is a health and beauty chain of more than 70 stores in various towns and cities in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. They offer customers health and beauty products at wallet-friendly prices, which can be bought online.
They also operate over 14 funeral services across Scotland’s central belt and many Scottish post offices, offering the services usually found in other post offices, including regulated financial services. Finally, they have a property business that manages commercial and domestic properties. They also raise money for charitable organisations.
Scotmid started by merging St. Cuthbert’s Co-operative Society and the Dalziel Society in 1981. After this event, Scotmid purchased several stores and expanded its businesses. However, after a group of department stores performed poorly in 2000, Scotmid closed them all. They then went on to more successful ventures and today enjoy a large membership with several successful retail businesses attempting to better their members’ communities.
