About the brand ❤️

The Northern Co-operative Society Limited (Norco) was a prominent consumer co-operative based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Established in 1861, it grew to operate a wide range of retail services, including supermarkets, dairies, pharmacies, and department stores. In 1917, it converted into a co-operative society, emphasizing member ownership and democratic control. Despite its initial success, Norco faced financial challenges in the early 1990s, leading to its liquidation in 1993. The society's assets were sold to various entities, including Argyll Stores and the Co-operative Wholesale Society. Today, the legacy of Norco is preserved through historical records and memorabilia.
