Wooldale Co-operative Society was a small
consumer co-operative based in the West Yorkshire village of Wooldale. The Society operated three convenience stores in the Holme Valley villages of New Mill, Thongsbridge and Wooldale. It was founded as the Wooldale Industrial and Equitable Co-operative Society[2]
in 1886, changing its name in 1989.
The Society was a member of the
Co-operative Retail Trading Group and a corporate member of The Co-operative Group
. It also had agreements with the Co-operative Group for stock distribution and promotions.
In 2006, the Society met with its small neighbouring societies,
Special General Meeting
held on 11 May 2007, the proposal was defeated by the members of the Wooldale society on a near 2:1 ratio.
On 26 May 2017, members of the society voted for a merger with the neighbouring Central England Co-operative, with whom the Shepley society had merged a few years prior.[3]
