In January 2009, members voted overwhelmingly to transfer arrangements to Midlands Co-operative Society, which took effect on 8 February 2009.[2]

History

The Moulton Co-op was one of the last single store societies in the Midlands region, following the mergers of Desborough, Ilkeston and Raunds co-ops with the Midlands Society in recent years. John Mitchinson became Chief Executive of Moulton in 1986, serving until the merger.[2]

Location

  • Stocks Hill, Moulton, Northamptonshire

Co-operative movement

The society was at the time of merger a member of the UK-wide Co-operative Retail Trading Group (CRTG) and sold The Co-operative brand products. It was also a corporate member of hybrid consumer and wholesale co-operative, the Co-operative Group.

2009 Revamp

After Midland Co-op took the company over the store was re-vamped. It was set to be re-opened on 26th August 2009.
