About Scotmid Co-Operative
Scotmid Co-operative is Scotland's largest independent co-operative society, supporting local communities since 1859. www. scotmid. coop
Scotmid Co-Operative Description
Scotmid Co-operative is a Society made up of a number of businesses. It has around 190 food stores across Scotland of which the vast majority are food convenience stores situated at the heart of Scottish communities.
Scotmid also owns Semichem, a chain of over 140 discount health and beauty stores which are situated in most high street across Scotland as well as Northern Ireland and the north of England.
Scotmid Funeral Directors operates eight branches throughout the central belt of Scotland with a history that stretches back almost 100 years.
Scotmid also has a Property Division which has an extensive portfolio of both commercial and residential properties.
The Society is owned, managed and governed in Scotland and as a co-operative is democratically controlled by its members. All of this has been achieved while still strongly adhering to Scotmid's governing co-operative values and principles.

SOCIETY | Continuous Improvement Drives Positive #Scotmid Results.

• Trading profit of £5.3m for the year ended 28 January 2019; up 11% on the equivalent period last year.... • Strong balance sheet with assets of £103m – record level in Society’s history • Trading turnover increased by £4m to £378m • Hottest summer in 40 years boosted trade and helped mitigate the impact of cost pressures
Scotmid Co-operative delivered a £5.3m trading profit for the year ended 28 January 2019; up £0.5m on the equivalent period last year.
This positive result, driven by strong sales figures from Scotmid’s food convenience business during the summer, was achieved in a period when the Society again faced into significant external cost increases plus the added uncertainty surrounding Brexit.
The society, which is scheduled to celebrate its 160-year anniversary in November, also confirmed the value of its net assets had risen to its highest ever level.

So April fools and Easter Sunday fall on the same day today and I have to say Scotmid Bearsden you got me a cracker!
After leaving my dutiful husband to purchase the Easter eggs this year the yolk is now on me!
We thought he had thoroughly outdone himself (1month early big pat on the back��) for our son who is 4 he picked up a Thomas the Tank egg AND a Hot Wheels egg. �
Dazzled by his find wrapped in shining trademark Thomas the Tank and Hot Wheels paper we quickly planked the eggs where he would never find them! JOB DONE �
Upon presenting these outstanding eggs to our wee boy this morning expecting to find perhaps a wee Thomas the Tank train and Hot Wheels car we let the wee one pick 1 to open today and my son rips off the shining BRANDED Thomas the Tank paper to find an egg in a cup... okay so the toy must be in the egg.... SMASH... perfect toy is in the egg� it’s a spinning top � okay great (little disappointing but hey ho the egg was like £4) so my wee cherub has played away with this tiny wee spinning top for 5mins before he sticks his finger in the hole in the top...
E..MUMmmmmm my finger!
Me...OMG what have you done �(needs more coffee)
E.. My Finger
Me... � let me see..... pop (spinning top removed from finger)
Me... FFS �� **examination of spinning top*
Me.. *checks finger wee ones fine btw�*
Me... Eddie! (Husband)��
Me... ITS An F***ing Sharpener! �
Me... what sort of idiot buys a 4yr old an egg with a sharpener in it!!!!����
Eddie... I didn’t know!...
Me... did you not read the packaging
Eddie... No I just bought them�
Me... get me the packaging this can’t be right there must’ve been a warning �
Eddie... (gets packaging out the bin) Aye good luck reading this packaging!
Me... why you bought them at the shop across the road..
**gives me packaging which is entirely written in ITALIAN � a wee bit of Spanish, some German and some other languages that I have no idea pos Russian or something! I have no chance�
I deduce from some high school Spanish that these eggs are not suitable for children under 3 anos’** (I repeat wee one is 4YRS)
So the spinning top/sharpener and other egg are all in the bin
I suppose we should’ve known better than to expect April Fools and Easter Sunday to go without a hitch ��
But I definitely expected better from Scotmid!
Went to my local Scotmid at westburn with my own carrier bag as it’s good for the environment to re-use carrier bags only to be told by the checkout young man that he couldn’t pack my bag as I’d brought my own bag wtf as “Frank the area manager” had said so!! So what is your definition of customer service then? Do you now charge for bag packing at 5p only if you use a Scotmid bag???? Really disappointed as use this shop a lot.
STOP using a bag for a single aubergine, please! it's ridiculous!
It really irritates me how little awareness you show on plastic. This is a major worldwide problem and we need you to contribute by reducing its use as much as you can, asap! Won't buy in your stores as long as this persists.
My breakfast roll shaped hole was delayed in being filled this morning because the staff wouldn't put bacon and link on the same roll.
I asked but was told "it's company policy"....
What to inconvenience your customers?
So I thought, right fair dos, maybe it because it bacon and link and cross contamination or whatever.... but then the guy dumps the 2 rolls in the bag spilling their contents over each other.
What a joke of a place!
