Overview
- The Solihull store operates from 7am to 7pm before serving as a dark store for home deliveries via Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Co-op’s quick-commerce service.
- Each outlet spans 600–1,000 sq ft and deliberately excludes cigarettes and vaping products to focus on food and essentials.
- Co-op plans 14 more On The Go stores by the end of 2025, including five in London, with ambitions to roll out several hundred over the next two to three years.
- Inspired by compact Asian convenience formats, the concept is designed to bolster Co-op’s presence in breakfast and dinner segments and build on its 15% share of the UK’s food-to-go market.
- The launch signifies Co-op’s full recovery from an early 2025 cyber-attack that disrupted availability in stores and compromised data of 6.5 million members.
