 A number of co-operative societies including Scotmid and the Lincolnshire Co-operative do not use the standard brand, preferring instead to use the 1992 'cloverleaf version' of The Co-operative brand.In 2016, The Co-operative Group reverted to the use of its 1968 Co-op cloverleaf branding.Co-op shops are of various sizes incorporating convenience shops and supermarkets, and the brand has the biggest geographical spread of any retailer, with a shop in every postal region of the UK.
